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

iKiosek.cz is an e-commerce platform operated by Czech News Center a.s., specializing in the sale and subscription of newspapers, magazines, audiobooks, and e-books in both digital and print formats. The platform targets a broad Czech-speaking audience interested in media content, offering a variety of categories including children's magazines, women's and men's magazines, and special interest publications. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with responsive design and integration of modern tracking and consent management technologies. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, though the branding and content strongly indicate a reputable media business. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, but lack explicit security headers and published security policies.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

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

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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 business operates in the Czech media sector, leveraging a strong brand under Czech News Center a.s. It offers a diversified portfolio of media products and services, including digital subscriptions and mobile SIM services (BLESKmobil). The platform integrates with multiple partner domains within the Czech media ecosystem, enhancing its market reach. The business model is primarily subscription and e-commerce based, targeting general consumers interested in news and entertainment. The presence of gift certificates and audiobooks indicates additional revenue streams. The company appears large and established, though exact founding year and size metrics are not disclosed.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to comply with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline security and privacy posture. The login form uses standard fields but no advanced security headers were detected in the provided data. No security.txt or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking services increases the attack surface and requires ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

  5. No direct contact emails or phone numbers found on the homepage or header.
  6. Login and registration forms are present with standard fields.
  7. No explicit security or privacy policy pages found on the main domain, but linked to parent company policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery 3.7.1, jPlayer for media playback, Owl Carousel for UI components, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Consent management is handled by Didomi CMP, and session recording is done via Smartlook. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO metadata. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce platform but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and modernization of legacy libraries.
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.
