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. 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

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

Denník N holds a strong position in the Slovak media landscape as a trusted independent news source. Its subscription model ensures recurring revenue, supported by additional income from advertising and merchandise sales. The presence of multiple language versions and mobile apps indicates strategic growth and audience diversification. Partnerships with related domains for subscriptions and e-commerce enhance operational efficiency. The company benefits from a consistent brand and professional content, appealing to a broad demographic of news consumers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of modern security best practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and advertising services with consent mechanisms in place, supporting GDPR compliance. Recommendations include implementing a security.txt file and enhancing CSP policies to further strengthen security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy to cover all inline and external scripts comprehensively.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and update privacy documentation accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

Denník N's website is built on WordPress with a custom theme, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and CDNs for performance. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising platforms, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Gemius, and OneSignal. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and caching via CDN. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous monitoring. Overall, the infrastructure supports a scalable and user-friendly digital media platform.
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.
