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

Heroine.cz is a Czech online media platform focused on women's issues, feminism, culture, psychology, and social topics. It offers a mix of free and premium content including articles, podcasts, and a printed magazine available via subscription and e-shop. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and targets Czech-speaking women interested in progressive social discourse. The platform is operated by NextPage Media and maintains a moderate market position within niche feminist media in the Czech Republic. Technically, the site uses a modern Ruby on Rails framework with integrations for Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Gemius, and advertising networks such as Google Adsense and Seznam SSP. Security posture is good with HTTPS, CSRF protection, and bot mitigation via Cloudflare Turnstile captcha. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are not clearly found in the provided content, which impacts privacy compliance scoring. WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces trustworthiness but the professional content and social media presence support legitimacy. Overall, Heroine.cz is a credible media outlet with room for improvement in privacy transparency and WHOIS data availability.

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.

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

Heroine.cz operates as an important media entity under NextPage Media, focusing on feminist and social issues for a Czech audience. Its business model includes content monetization via subscriptions and e-shop sales. The platform leverages multiple advertising and analytics partners to generate revenue and track user engagement. The target demographic is women interested in culture, psychology, and social justice topics. The site shows growth potential through events and special editions. Partnerships with e-commerce and advertising networks are evident. The lack of visible contact information and WHOIS transparency may limit some business trust signals but does not detract from the site's market relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF tokens in forms, and bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile. Multiple security headers are likely implemented though not explicitly visible in the HTML snippet. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces some risk, but no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve domain trustworthiness.
  4. Audit third-party scripts regularly to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

Heroine.cz is built on a modern Ruby on Rails stack with Turbolinks and authenticity tokens indicating secure form handling. The site integrates multiple analytics and advertising technologies including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Gemius, and Google Adsense. It uses Cloudflare Turnstile for bot mitigation and has responsive design optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate with some heavy image usage but overall good SEO and metadata implementation. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but is likely custom or Rails-based. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Technical debt appears low with modern best practices in place, though privacy compliance and WHOIS transparency are areas for improvement.
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.
