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

Zpravodaj.cz is a Czech language news and lifestyle portal founded in 2018, offering a variety of content categories including news, finance, health, travel, fashion, and lifestyle. The website targets a general adult audience of both women and men, providing news and articles intended to change perspectives on the world. The business operates primarily as an online media outlet with a small-scale presence in the Czech media market. Technically, the site is built on WordPress CMS with modern plugins for SEO and content management, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and secure login forms, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and consistent with its domain registration data, but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

      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

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 positions itself as a general news and lifestyle portal in the Czech Republic, serving a broad audience with diverse content categories. Its business model revolves around content publishing, likely monetized through advertising and possibly sponsored content. The site uses professional branding and structured data to enhance SEO and user engagement. The lack of explicit privacy and terms policies may impact trust with privacy-conscious users. The presence of login forms suggests user account features, which could be leveraged for subscriptions or personalized content. The domain age and registrant information align well with the business claims, supporting credibility. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. Login forms use password fields, indicating basic security for user authentication. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, formal policies, and user data protection measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance incident response readiness by defining and publishing security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including jQuery and several specialized plugins for SEO and content layout (td-composer, td-standard-pack). The site uses Google Fonts for typography and employs JSON-LD structured data for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by responsive CSS and mobile navigation menus. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small to medium media portal.
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.
