0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Cestopisy.net is a Czech independent travel guide website operating for over 19 years, offering detailed travelogues, quality photographs, and video guides focused on tourism, vacations, and sightseeing tips. The site targets travelers and tourists seeking authentic and well-curated travel content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various plugins, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and SEO best practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks security headers and explicit privacy/cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract significantly from the site's professional content and trustworthiness. Overall, the site is a reliable resource for travel information with moderate technical and security maturity.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website holds a niche position as a specialized travel guide in the Czech market, leveraging long-term domain presence and an editorial team of passionate travelers. Its business model revolves around content creation and advertising partnerships, targeting travel enthusiasts. The site maintains a consistent brand and content quality, supported by social media channels on Facebook and YouTube. Revenue streams likely include advertising and sponsored content. The absence of detailed WHOIS data is a notable gap in transparency. The site’s ecosystem includes various travel-related categories and a rich archive of posts, indicating sustained content growth and audience engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity of cestopisy.net is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, which may expose the site to compliance risks under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency in security management. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and plugins, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure enough for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information including security and abuse contacts.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using version 6.7.2, combined with Bootstrap 3.3.0 and jQuery libraries. It employs several plugins including Photo Gallery, SiteOrigin Panels, and Slider Revolution, indicating a feature-rich and visually engaging site. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. However, the site lacks modern security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized with enhanced security and privacy features.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
