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

POLAR is a regional television broadcaster serving the Moravskoslezský kraj region in the Czech Republic. The website offers continuous streams of local news, entertainment programs, and multimedia content, targeting residents and viewers interested in regional affairs. The business model centers on regional TV broadcasting supplemented by advertising and multimedia production services. The company has an established market presence since 1998 and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Video.js for streaming video content. Hosting is likely provided by Websupport, a reputable Czech hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and some security best practices but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional, with moderate risk due to incomplete privacy and security disclosures. Strategic improvements in security policies, privacy documentation, and contact transparency would enhance trust and compliance.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

POLAR operates as a regional media company focused on delivering local news and entertainment to the Moravskoslezský kraj area. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence since 1998 and its comprehensive regional coverage. Revenue streams likely include advertising sales and multimedia production services. The target customer segment is local residents and businesses seeking regional media exposure. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and multimedia content offerings. The partnership with polarmultimedia.cz suggests an ecosystem for content production and distribution. The company maintains a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of defer attributes on scripts to improve performance and security. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but no clear privacy policy or terms of service. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media website but could be improved to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and expose a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and well-supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Video.js for streaming, and several JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. Hosting is provided by a reputable Czech provider, Websupport. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and responsive images. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation. The CMS appears to be a custom or Porto-based solution, which may require ongoing maintenance to keep up with security best 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.
