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

Novinky Zpravy is a Czech language online news media website providing news and business updates across various categories such as Auto-moto, Finance, and Health. The website operates on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including popular SEO and content management plugins. It targets a general Czech-speaking audience interested in current affairs and business news. The domain is well-established since 2013, indicating a stable presence in the market. Technically, the site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices in place. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and secure login forms, but lacks some recommended security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Analytics usage is moderate with Google Analytics and Tag Manager implemented. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

10 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

      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

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 positions itself as a general news provider in the Czech Republic, leveraging a content-driven business model focused on news publishing. It serves a broad audience with diverse news categories, indicating a strategy to capture wide market segments. The use of multiple social media and partner links suggests an ecosystem approach to content distribution and audience engagement. The absence of explicit business registration or physical contact details limits transparency but is common in media websites. The site’s longevity and consistent branding support its credibility. Revenue streams likely include advertising and sponsored content, though no direct affiliate or ad network integrations were detected beyond Google Analytics tracking.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and login forms use password fields, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. The site does not display privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts to improve security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear business contact information and legal disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a suite of plugins for SEO (All in One SEO), content layout (td-composer), and newsletter management. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Hosting details are limited to registrar information (REG-WEDOS). Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. SEO is well addressed with canonical URLs, meta tags, and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a WordPress news site but could benefit from performance and accessibility enhancements.
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.
