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

Deník N operates as a reputable Czech news media outlet providing fast and reliable news updates across various categories including politics, economy, culture, and sports. The website demonstrates a solid market position within the Czech Republic's media landscape, targeting a general audience interested in current affairs. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies such as React and integrates privacy and advertising SDKs to manage user consent and deliver personalized content. The presence of HTTPS and security headers indicates a good security posture, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie consent mechanism, but the absence of a clear privacy policy and terms of service reduces overall compliance confidence. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security documentation.

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

    • 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

  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 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

Deník N's business model centers on digital news delivery with revenue streams likely from subscriptions and advertising. The company targets Czech-speaking audiences interested in timely news and analysis. The website's structured navigation and tagging system support content discoverability and user engagement. Partnerships are indicated through linked domains related to subscription and campaign management. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's founding date, reinforcing credibility. The absence of explicit business contact details and certifications suggests a focus on content delivery rather than direct customer service via the website.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes several security headers enhancing protection against common web threats. The integration of a privacy SDK and cookie consent banner reflects awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness visibility. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Security practices appear sound but could benefit from formal documentation and public disclosure to improve stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main site.
  2. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate a data protection officer if applicable.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and served via a WordPress backend, indicating a hybrid modern and traditional CMS approach. It uses Google Tag Manager and DoubleClick for advertising and analytics, alongside a privacy management SDK to handle user consent. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and preloading optimizations. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern but relies on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
