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

HLAVNÍ ZPRÁVY is a Czech online news and lifestyle portal established in 2018, providing a variety of content including news, finance, health, sports, and family-related articles. The website targets the general Czech-speaking public interested in current affairs and lifestyle topics. It operates primarily on an advertising-supported content publishing model, positioning itself as a regional media outlet with a consistent brand presence and good content quality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing popular plugins and themes such as td-composer and td-standard-pack. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and analytics. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. The infrastructure reflects a standard CMS-based media site with room for technical enhancements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML. However, it lacks important security headers and does not provide visible privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response information are present, indicating gaps in security transparency and readiness. The overall security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing best practices and compliance measures. Overall, HLAVNÍ ZPRÁVY presents a professional and trustworthy media website with safe content for general audiences. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response transparency are recommended to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

      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

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

HLAVNÍ ZPRÁVY operates as a small-sized media company focused on delivering news and lifestyle content to the Czech market. Its competitive advantage lies in diversified content categories and a consistent brand identity. The business model relies on advertising revenue generated through content engagement. The target customer segments include general news readers and lifestyle enthusiasts in the Czech Republic. The website's partnership ecosystem includes multiple related news and lifestyle domains, enhancing content reach and cross-promotion. Growth indicators are moderate, with a stable domain age and content volume. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand compliance and security transparency to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. The security culture appears limited to standard CMS practices without advanced security frameworks or certifications. Enhancing security headers, implementing privacy compliance, and establishing incident response mechanisms are critical next steps.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen site security.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-structured theme and plugin ecosystem. It uses jQuery and Google analytics technologies for interactivity and tracking. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. The lack of advanced accessibility features and SEO meta tags suggests technical debt in these areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
