Plzen.cz is a regional news and media portal serving the Plzeň and Karlovy Vary regions in the Czech Republic. Operated by Euronova Group, the website offers news, cultural and social event information, sports updates, and video content targeted at the general public in the region. The site has been established since 1997, indicating a mature presence in the local media market. Technically, the site runs on Joomla CMS with the Gantry5 framework, utilizing common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Video.js. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and analytics. The website is mobile optimized and provides a clear navigation structure with consistent branding. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, supporting its legitimacy.

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

9 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

      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 regional media outlet focusing on news and cultural content for the Plzeň region. Its business model centers on content delivery and advertising, as evidenced by multiple banner ads and sponsored content. The presence of social media links and video content suggests a multi-channel engagement strategy. The domain's long history and consistent registration data indicate stable operations. The site targets a broad audience including residents interested in local news, culture, and sports. Partnerships appear limited to web design and hosting providers. Growth indicators include active content updates and event coverage. The business credibility is supported by professional design and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner in place, indicating some compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which may limit transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics and social media integrations introduces typical privacy considerations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media portal but could be improved with enhanced headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with the Gantry5 framework, leveraging jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality and styling. Video.js is used for video playback. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site uses lazy loading for images to improve performance. The domain is hosted by REG-ZONER, a known registrar and hosting provider. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security headers are missing. The site uses canonical URLs and meta tags for SEO, indicating good search engine optimization practices.
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.
