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 pluralism and freedom of the Czech media landscape. It provides grant programs, media rating services, and organizes events such as the Novinářské fórum to foster independent journalism. The foundation targets journalists, media professionals, and the general public interested in media freedom in the Czech Republic. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks like React and Next.js, with integrated Google Analytics and Google Custom Search Engine for analytics and search functionality. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is robust with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. Overall, NFNZ presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence supporting independent media in the Czech Republic.

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. 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

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

  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 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

NFNZ occupies an important niche in the Czech non-profit sector focused on media freedom and journalism support. Its business model revolves around grant funding and advocacy rather than commercial revenue. The foundation leverages partnerships with donation platforms like darujme.cz to facilitate funding. Its market position is strengthened by active engagement with journalists and media stakeholders, demonstrated by detailed project offerings and public events. The organization maintains a consistent brand and high-quality content, supported by testimonials from founders and board members. Growth indicators include ongoing grant programs and media rating updates. The foundation's ecosystem includes social media channels and a transparent approach to privacy and data protection, enhancing its credibility and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. Cookie consent and privacy policy indicate awareness of data protection regulations. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy, incident response page, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness visibility. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. It uses Google Analytics and Google Custom Search Engine for analytics and search capabilities. The site includes proper meta tags for SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical implementation is solid with no major technical debt observed, but continuous monitoring and optimization are recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
