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

The website economic.cz is a Czech language media portal focused on business, finance, and economic topics, targeting entrepreneurs and professionals interested in these sectors. Established in 2014, it provides news, advice, and analysis relevant to its audience. The site uses WordPress CMS with a modern theme and plugins for newsletter and subscription management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure includes standard web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts, with a responsive design suitable for mobile devices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some best practices like external links opening in new tabs with noopener, but lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the domain registration data aligns well with the website's content and age, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

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

economic.cz operates as a niche regional media outlet serving the Czech business and finance community. Its business model appears to be content publishing monetized through advertising, as evidenced by banner ads linking to partner sites. The site targets entrepreneurs and finance professionals, offering relevant news and guidance. The domain age and registrar information support a stable presence in the market. However, the absence of detailed company information, certifications, or extensive contact details limits transparency. The partnership with stylemag.cz suggests some ecosystem collaboration. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not explicit but likely rely on advertising and subscriptions. The site maintains consistent branding and content relevance, positioning it as a trusted source within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. External links are handled securely to prevent tabnabbing. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site lacks a public vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact, which are important for security transparency and readiness. Forms for login and password recovery exist but no explicit mention of secure input handling or CAPTCHA mechanisms was found. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard security headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing multiple plugins such as td-composer, td-newsletter, and td-subscription, indicating a modular and extensible architecture. The use of jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Fonts contributes to a modern front-end experience. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with a structured navigation menu and search functionality. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced performance optimizations detected. The technical debt appears manageable, but the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features suggests areas for modernization. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain registrar is a known Czech provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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.
