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

Mapy.com is a well-established online map portal operated by Gransy, s.r.o., a Czech company with a domain age dating back to 2003. The service offers comprehensive global mapping solutions including hiking and cycling maps, route planning, aerial and 3D views, and extensive travel guides. It targets tourists and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide, leveraging a freemium business model supported by advertising and developer APIs. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and multi-language support, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript APIs, including the SMap API and Gemius analytics, hosted likely on Seznam.cz infrastructure. The platform is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is adequately implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site integrates a consent management platform for cookie compliance and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, though DNSSEC is not enabled. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with privacy and cookie policies accessible and GDPR considerations integrated. Overall, Mapy.com presents a trustworthy and professional online mapping service with a solid business foundation and technical infrastructure. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and DNS security would enhance its security posture and compliance maturity.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Mapy.com holds a strong market position as a popular map portal in Central Europe with global ambitions. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed outdoor maps, route planning, and user-generated content features. The freemium model supported by advertising and developer APIs provides diversified revenue streams. The target customers include tourists, outdoor enthusiasts, and general users seeking detailed maps and travel guides. The company benefits from integration within the Seznam.cz ecosystem, enhancing its partnership and infrastructure capabilities. Growth indicators include multi-language support and mobile app promotion. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding global reach and enhancing security and privacy transparency to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Use of a consent management platform aligns with privacy regulations. However, the lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies indicates gaps in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. Compliance with GDPR is basic but present. The security culture appears operational but could benefit from formalized policies and improved DNS security. Business impact of current gaps is moderate, with recommendations to enhance DNS security, publish security policies, and implement vulnerability disclosure to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file.
  4. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to improve protection.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance transparency by detailing data retention policies and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The technical infrastructure is based on modern web technologies including JavaScript APIs for mapping and analytics. The site uses custom CMS or framework with integration into Seznam.cz services. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and mobile optimization. Technical debt is low but accessibility features are basic, suggesting room for improvement. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers represents technical risks. Modernization opportunities include enhancing accessibility, security headers, and formalizing API usage documentation. Overall, the technical stack supports a robust mapping service with scalable potential.
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.
