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

Hrot24.cz is a Czech-language online news media platform focusing on economy, politics, and business. It offers news articles, podcasts, and a monthly magazine subscription, targeting Czech-speaking audiences interested in these sectors. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and structured content authored by named journalists, supporting its credibility in the media industry. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy for general audiences.

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

12 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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 platform positions itself as a specialized media outlet in the Czech Republic, focusing on economic and political news. Its business model includes content publication and subscription services via a linked e-commerce site. The presence of partnerships with radio and magazine sites indicates a broader media ecosystem. The site leverages tracking and advertising networks for monetization. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia offerings. The lack of explicit company registration or contact details limits deeper business profiling but the professional content and partnerships suggest a stable operation within the Czech media sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site lacks visible formal security policies or incident response contacts, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Tracking scripts are present, indicating moderate user data collection. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and security.txt disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React frameworks, indicating a modern JavaScript-based single-page application architecture. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates third-party services such as Gemius for analytics and Caroda for video playback. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with multiple preloads and asynchronous script loading to improve user experience. No CMS was explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. The technical stack supports scalability and content-rich media delivery but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations.
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.
