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

Homeandgarden.sk is a Slovak-based online media portal focused on home, garden, hobby, and lifestyle content. The site publishes articles and guides aimed at a general audience interested in improving their living spaces and hobbies. The business model appears to be content publishing supported by advertising partnerships with related media outlets. The website uses WordPress CMS with a commercial Newspaper theme and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. Hosting is provided by a Czech hosting provider, consistent with the regional focus. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and secure login forms, but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. No direct contact information or incident response channels are provided, which limits transparency and user trust. Overall, the site is functional and professionally designed but could improve compliance and security practices.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      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';…

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 targets Slovak-speaking users interested in home and garden topics, positioning itself as a niche content provider in the regional media space. It leverages partnerships with other Czech and Slovak media sites for advertising and content promotion. The business relies on content creation and ad revenue, with no e-commerce or direct sales detected. The domain age and registration data align with a recently established media outlet. The absence of detailed business or legal information suggests a small-sized operation focused on content delivery rather than large-scale commercial activities.

Security posture

The site benefits from HTTPS encryption and uses secure password fields in login forms, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible CAPTCHA or rate limiting on login forms may expose the site to brute force risks. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact limits the site's readiness to handle security incidents. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a content site but requires enhancements to meet higher security standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Introduce CAPTCHA or other anti-brute-force mechanisms on login forms to prevent unauthorized access attempts.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse contact email to improve incident response capabilities.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using the Newspaper theme and several related plugins for content management and layout. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are implemented for visitor tracking. Hosting is via svethostingu.cz, a Czech hosting provider, consistent with the site's regional focus. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Performance is moderate, typical for a WordPress content site with multiple plugins and media assets.
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.
