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

Info.cz is a Czech online news and commentary platform focusing on politics, business, law, and society from a right-wing perspective. It offers a variety of content including articles, podcasts, and an e-commerce shop. The site targets Czech-speaking audiences interested in independent news and political commentary. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Revive Adserver for advertising. It is likely built on Ruby on Rails given the presence of Turbolinks and authenticity tokens. The site is hosted with content delivery via Cloudfront and employs HTTPS with standard security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy in Czech. However, no direct contact information or security policy details are publicly available. WHOIS data is missing, which slightly impacts trust but the site appears professional and legitimate based on content and technical setup.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

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

  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 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';…
  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Info.cz operates as an independent media outlet in the Czech Republic with a clear editorial stance. Its business model includes advertising revenue and an e-shop selling related products. The platform offers podcasts and a variety of political and economic commentary, appealing to a niche right-wing audience. The site maintains a consistent brand and good content quality, positioning itself as a notable player in Czech online media. The absence of registrant data in WHOIS may indicate privacy protection or recent registration, but the site’s technical maturity and content depth suggest established operations. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, CSRF tokens present, and cookie consent implemented. Security headers are partially present but could be enhanced with additional headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces some risk, but these are common and managed. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact is a gap. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and header coverage.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide an incident response contact email to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  4. Consider publishing business contact information to improve credibility and user trust.
  5. Monitor WHOIS registration status and ensure domain registration details are accurate and up to date.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Ruby on Rails framework elements, Turbolinks for navigation, and popular analytics tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Advertising is managed via Revive Adserver. The site loads assets from Cloudfront CDN and Amazon S3 storage, indicating a scalable hosting infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses a custom cookie consent mechanism with detailed category settings. There is room for improvement in security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
