The website e17.cz is a Czech-language finance news and advice portal established in 2020. It targets Czech-speaking individuals interested in finance, taxes, investments, and business guidance. The site uses WordPress CMS with the Newspaper theme and includes content such as finance news, tax information, and investment advice. The technical infrastructure is modern with standard web technologies including jQuery and Google Fonts, and the site is mobile optimized with a responsive design.

Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent domain renewal and improved security and privacy practices.

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

11 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

    • 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

e17.cz operates as a niche finance media outlet in the Czech Republic, focusing on delivering finance-related news and advice. Its business model revolves around content publishing targeting finance-interested audiences. The site shows consistent branding and professional content quality. Partnerships with other Czech media sites are indicated by linked domains. The domain age is recent but appropriate for a small media site. The expired domain status is a critical concern that could impact business continuity. No direct revenue streams or certifications are evident from the data. The site lacks detailed business contact information and legal disclosures, which could affect credibility.

Security posture

The security maturity of e17.cz is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and login/password recovery forms are implemented, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The expired domain status is a critical vulnerability that could lead to domain hijacking or service interruption. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site requires immediate domain renewal, implementation of security headers, and formalization of privacy and incident response policies to enhance security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the domain registration immediately to prevent service disruption and security risks.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Newspaper theme, leveraging jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. The site is mobile responsive and uses HTTPS for secure communication. Performance is moderate with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA roles or landmarks identified in the provided HTML snippet. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided content. The expired domain status is a critical technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small content site but requires improvements in security, privacy, and SEO.
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.
