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

PC news is a Czech language technology news website established in 2017, focusing on personal computer hardware, software, and digital literacy content. It serves a niche audience of Czech-speaking technology enthusiasts and provides news, reviews, and educational articles. The website uses WordPress CMS with common plugins and Google Fonts, indicating a standard modern web infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. However, the domain is currently marked as expired, which poses a risk to business continuity and trust. No privacy or cookie policies are found, and contact information is absent, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking security headers and incident response policies. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, with moderate user tracking levels. Overall, the website is functional and content-rich but requires improvements in domain management, privacy compliance, and security practices.

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 small media outlet in the Czech Republic, focusing on technology news and educational content related to PCs. Its business model appears to be advertising-based, with external links to partner news sites. The lack of detailed business information, contact data, and certifications limits its credibility. The expired domain status is a critical operational risk. The site targets technology enthusiasts and learners in the Czech market, with potential for growth if compliance and security gaps are addressed. The partnership with other Czech news domains suggests some integration in the local media ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, but no security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to common web attacks. The expired domain status is a significant vulnerability that could lead to domain hijacking or downtime. No visible privacy, security, or incident response policies are present, indicating gaps in compliance and readiness. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces tracking but no explicit user consent mechanisms were found. The site should implement security best practices including domain renewal, security headers, privacy policies, and incident response plans to improve its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the domain registration immediately to prevent service disruption and security risks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency and support.
  5. Establish an incident response policy and consider publishing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with plugins like td-composer and td-standard-pack, using jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Fonts. The hosting appears to be via svethostingu.eu based on the nameserver. The site is mobile responsive with a good design and navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with no explicit accessibility features detected. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags found. The expired domain and lack of security headers represent technical risks. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, but no explicit consent mechanism is implemented. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard but requires updates and security 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.
