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

eFotbal.cz is a Czech-language football news website providing comprehensive coverage of football events in the Czech Republic and internationally. The site offers news, interviews, analyses, and commentary on various leagues including domestic competitions like Chance Liga and international leagues such as the Premier League and Bundesliga. The target audience is football fans primarily in the Czech Republic. The business operates as a media publishing platform monetized through advertising and content distribution partnerships. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and JavaScript ES modules, with integration of Google Tag Manager and Seznam analytics for tracking and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and includes structured data markup for SEO. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance, supported by a cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent tools, but lacks explicit security headers in the HTML response. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy-protected, which is common for media websites and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the site demonstrates a good security posture with room for improvement in security headers and accessibility. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website appearing legitimate and professionally maintained. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, auditing third-party scripts regularly, and enhancing accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

eFotbal.cz holds a strong position in the Czech sports media market, focusing on football news and related content. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, up-to-date coverage of both domestic and international football leagues, appealing to a dedicated fan base. The business model centers on advertising revenue and partnerships with analytics and marketing platforms such as Google and Seznam. The site leverages social media presence, notably Facebook, to engage its audience. Growth indicators include consistent content updates and integration of modern web technologies. The partnership ecosystem includes Livesport and other sports news portals, enhancing content reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with privacy regulations like GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is typical for media sites but could be improved for transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent supply chain risks.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet standards such as WCAG for broader user inclusivity.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

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.
