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

CoChces.cz is a Czech price comparison website operated by Mladá fronta, a.s., offering users the ability to search and compare prices across a wide range of product categories including electronics, home goods, and lifestyle products. The platform positions itself as one of the fastest growing price comparison services in the Czech Republic, targeting general consumers seeking the best deals online. The business model revolves around aggregating product listings and linking users to multiple shops, monetized primarily through advertising and affiliate partnerships. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and multiple advertising networks such as Google Adsense and MfAds. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes cookie consent mechanisms. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms but lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, CoChces.cz presents a professional and functional e-commerce comparison platform with good user experience but has gaps in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic improvements in transparency, security headers, and privacy documentation would enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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
  • 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

CoChces.cz operates in the competitive Czech retail price comparison market, leveraging the brand strength of its parent company Mladá fronta, a.s. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its broad product coverage and integration with multiple shops, supported by advertising revenue streams. The target customers are general consumers in the Czech Republic looking for price comparisons across diverse categories. Growth indicators include active advertising and tracking integrations and a well-structured product catalog. The partnership ecosystem includes major ad networks and tracking services but lacks visible strategic business partners or subsidiaries. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on retail e-commerce services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the lack of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of WHOIS registration data further complicates trust assessment. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent banner but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and advertising integrations to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Obtain and maintain transparent WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of JavaScript libraries and third-party services for analytics and advertising, including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Gemius Audience. The site is mobile responsive and includes cookie consent mechanisms. However, no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with some reliance on multiple ad scripts which may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
