Operated by Echo Media, a.s., the site offers subscription-based access to premium content and integrates user account management through a partner authentication service.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

EchoPrime operates within the media sector, focusing on news, opinions, and cultural content for a Czech-speaking audience. Its business model revolves around subscription services and user engagement through premium content offerings. The site is part of a broader media ecosystem including partner sites like Echo24 and Tydeník Echo, enhancing its market reach. The use of multiple analytics and tracking tools indicates a data-driven approach to audience insights and marketing. While the site lacks publicly visible contact emails or phone numbers, it provides company registration details and physical address, reinforcing corporate legitimacy. The partnership with secure authentication services suggests a mature operational infrastructure supporting user management and subscription monetization.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, representing an area for enhancement. The use of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface, necessitating regular security audits. No direct vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Implementing a security.txt file and publishing clear security policies would improve trust and readiness for vulnerability disclosures. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be strengthened with targeted improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and security contact channels, including a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with a modern JavaScript technology stack including jQuery, Modernizr, Embla Carousel, and various analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Plausible Analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts. The use of cookie consent and Didomi CMP indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for technical enhancement. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media portal but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
