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

Nova IN is a Czech language online magazine launched in 2023, providing news and articles across lifestyle, finance, health, and related categories. The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, hosted by REG-WEDOS. It features a modern design with good mobile optimization and clear navigation, targeting a general audience interested in varied topics. The site integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its GDPR compliance stance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing advanced security headers and incident response contacts. Overall, the site presents as a small but professionally designed media outlet with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

11 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

The website operates as a niche online media publication focused on Czech-speaking audiences. Its business model revolves around content publication with potential monetization through advertising and partnerships. The presence of related wiki domains suggests a content partnership ecosystem. The site is relatively new, founded in 2023, and targets general consumers interested in lifestyle, finance, and health topics. No explicit revenue streams or parent company affiliations are evident. The social media links appear to be placeholders, indicating possible ongoing brand development. The site maintains consistent branding and content quality, positioning itself as a credible media source within its market segment.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security issues are provided. The site uses standard WordPress plugins and themes, which require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms, which could expose the site to regulatory risks under GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR requirements.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and appoint a data protection officer if applicable.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor as the page builder, leveraging Google Fonts and jQuery libraries. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting is provided by REG-WEDOS, a known Czech hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading of images. There is no evidence of advanced caching or CDN usage in the provided data. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized media websites, with opportunities to improve security and privacy implementations.
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.
