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

7 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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

The business operates within the media sector, focusing on brand recognition and marketing services. Its competitive advantage lies in its established reputation and network within the Czech market, supported by partnerships with global Superbrands entities. Revenue streams likely include event sponsorships, advertising, and publication sales. The target audience includes corporate clients seeking brand validation and consumers interested in brand quality. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple media outlets and industry organizations, enhancing its market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are publicly disclosed, which may impact compliance and trust. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and tracking technologies.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery and Bootstrap 3.3.7, which while stable, is somewhat dated and may pose modernization opportunities. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but DNS points to tellum.hu name servers. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. The site uses multiple external scripts for analytics and advertising, which should be managed carefully to avoid performance and privacy issues.
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.
