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

Diit.cz is an established Czech IT news portal founded in 2009, providing news and information about hardware, software, and internet technologies. The website targets IT professionals and technology enthusiasts primarily in the Czech Republic. Its business model relies on content publishing supported by advertising revenue, as evidenced by multiple ad networks and tracking services integrated into the site. The site uses Drupal CMS with a foundation CSS framework and several JavaScript libraries, including an outdated version of jQuery, which poses potential security risks. The website is mobile optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score.

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

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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';…

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 website holds a solid market position as a niche IT news source in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its longevity and focused content on IT hardware, software, and internet topics. Revenue streams appear to be primarily advertising-based, with integrations from Google AdSense, OpenX, and other ad networks. The target customer segment includes IT professionals and tech enthusiasts. The site does not publicly disclose detailed business or company registration information, limiting deeper business intelligence insights. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The security posture of Diit.cz is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and integrates standard security practices but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No public security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site would benefit from updating its libraries, enhancing security headers, and publishing clear security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a foundation CSS framework and uses various JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.10, Fancybox, and BxSlider. It integrates multiple advertising and tracking services such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Gemius, and several ad networks. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. However, the use of outdated libraries and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt and potential risks. The site could improve by modernizing its tech stack, optimizing performance further, and enhancing accessibility 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.
