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

Jihlavské listy is a regional newspaper serving the Vysočina region in the Czech Republic, operated by Parola s.r.o. The website provides news, cultural content, sports updates, magazines, photo galleries, and advertising services, targeting local residents and readers interested in regional affairs. The business model relies on advertising revenue and electronic subscriptions. The site demonstrates consistent branding and regular content updates, positioning it as a trusted regional media outlet. Technically, the website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and FingerprintJS for visitor identification. It employs HTTPS with good security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, and no security or incident response contact information is provided. The absence of WHOIS registrant data reduces trust slightly but does not negate the site's legitimacy given its active content and social media presence. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and safe for general audiences. Strategic improvements include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enhancing accessibility, and providing clear security contact channels to strengthen compliance and trust.

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

9 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Jihlavské listy operates as a regional media company focused on the Vysočina region, leveraging local news and community engagement to attract readership. Its competitive advantage lies in its established presence since 2007, consistent content updates, and integration of multiple media formats including print, digital, and social media. Revenue streams include advertising and electronic subscriptions. The target customer segment is local residents and businesses seeking regional news and advertising opportunities. Partnerships with related domains such as vas-politik.cz and sportovecjihlavska.cz indicate a collaborative ecosystem enhancing content diversity and reach. Growth indicators include active social media channels and regular event coverage. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with a focus on regional influence rather than national scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and several security headers implemented. Use of fingerprinting technology and cookie consent indicates awareness of privacy and tracking concerns. However, the lack of explicit privacy policy, terms of service, and security incident contact points reveals compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and vulnerability disclosure best practices. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and improving accessibility to enhance overall security culture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, ensuring responsive design and interactive features. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing purposes. The site loads multiple external scripts and ad network resources, which may impact performance but are common in media sites. Cookie consent is implemented via a dedicated package. The HTML structure is valid with proper meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times by reducing external dependencies. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content.
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.
