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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

    • High

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 holds a solid market position as a general interest online magazine in the Czech Republic. It leverages partnerships with major advertising platforms such as Google Ad Manager, Rubicon Project, and Seznam SSP. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to audience engagement and monetization. The parent company, BurdaMedia Extra s.r.o., is clearly identified, enhancing business credibility. However, the absence of explicit contact information and detailed privacy or terms pages suggests areas for improvement in transparency.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy header in place. Consent management is handled via Didomi CMP, ensuring compliance with GDPR cookie consent requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8) could pose security risks and should be updated. Additional security headers like X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security are recommended to further harden the site. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Drupal 7 CMS, which is a mature but aging platform. The tech stack includes various third-party scripts for advertising, analytics, and consent management, indicating a complex but standard infrastructure for media sites. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts that may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and mobile-specific menus. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are not explicit but the registrar is REG-WEDOS, a known Czech provider. Technical debt is present due to older jQuery and Drupal versions, suggesting modernization opportunities.
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.
