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

FINmag is a Czech financial news and advice website focused on personal finance, loans, mortgages, insurance, and investment information. The site targets a general Czech-speaking audience interested in financial literacy and investment news. The business operates as a small media outlet with content published since 2022, positioning itself as a niche player in the Czech financial media landscape. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem and uses standard web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is mobile optimized and includes SEO best practices such as structured data and meta tags. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements some best practices like opening external links in new tabs with noopener, but lacks security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is privacy protected, consistent with a small media business, and domain age aligns with the site's content history. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy 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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

The website operates in the finance sector, providing news and educational content about personal finance and investments. Its business model appears to be content-driven, likely monetized through advertising or affiliate links, although no explicit ad networks were detected in the provided data. The target audience is Czech-speaking individuals seeking financial advice and news. The site maintains a consistent brand identity and has a presence on social media platforms, although some social links are placeholders. The company behind the site is not explicitly identified beyond an email contact, suggesting a small or independent operation. The domain's recent creation date matches the site's content timeline, indicating a relatively new entrant in the market. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a critical security baseline. External links are configured to open in new windows with noopener to prevent tabnabbing attacks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data was found in the HTML. Login forms are present but no advanced security features like CAPTCHA or multi-factor authentication were observed. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. Recommendations include implementing security headers, enabling HSTS, and publishing clear security and privacy policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enhance login security with CAPTCHA and consider multi-factor authentication.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a suite of plugins including td-composer, td-newsletter, and td-subscription, indicating a mature content management setup. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Fonts for UI styling. The site is mobile responsive and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. No hosting provider information was detected. The site uses standard web fonts and icon fonts (Font Awesome). Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small media site but could be improved with 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.
