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

Nadační fond nezávislé žurnalistiky (NFNZ) is a Czech non-profit foundation established in 2016 dedicated to supporting independent journalism and media plurality in the Czech Republic. The organization provides grants for investigative, analytical, and data journalism projects, as well as educational workshops aimed at students. NFNZ positions itself as a key player in fostering democratic values through media freedom and transparency. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear communication of its mission and services. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with integration of Google Analytics and Google Custom Search Engine for analytics and search functionality. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. Privacy and cookie policies are prominently presented with consent mechanisms, indicating a strong commitment to GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and published incident response or security policies. No WHOIS data is available, which limits domain registration trust analysis, but the professional presentation and active social media presence support the legitimacy of the organization. Overall, NFNZ demonstrates a solid security posture with room for improvement in transparency and technical security controls. The overall risk assessment is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing accessibility compliance to further strengthen trust and security culture.

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

8 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

NFNZ operates in the media and non-profit sectors, focusing on supporting independent journalism in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its targeted grant programs and educational initiatives that promote media transparency and democratic discourse. The foundation's revenue streams likely include donations and grants, as indicated by donation links and calls to support. The target customer segments include journalists, media organizations, students, and the general public interested in media freedom. Growth indicators include active grant calls and educational workshops. The partnership ecosystem includes platforms like darujme.cz for donations and social media channels for outreach. Strategic observations highlight NFNZ's role as a trusted non-profit entity with a clear mission and growing community engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity level of NFNZ's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks published security policies or incident response information, which could hinder transparency and preparedness in case of security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears positive but would benefit from enhanced technical controls and documented security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response documentation on the website.
  3. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack centered on Next.js and React, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. Integration with Google Analytics and Google Custom Search Engine provides analytics and search capabilities. The site is mobile-responsive with good SEO optimization, including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. Accessibility is basic, suggesting room for improvement to meet WCAG standards. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's digital presence effectively but could benefit from enhancements in performance and accessibility.
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.
