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

Prague Morning is a prominent English-language media outlet based in the Czech Republic, established in 2016. It serves as the largest English news source in the country, targeting English-speaking residents and visitors interested in local news and events. The website offers news publishing services with monetization primarily through advertising and subscription-based premium content. The business maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages social media platforms to engage its audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It integrates modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. Hosting utilizes Cloudflare DNS services, and the site employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Advertising is managed through Google Adsense and Vidverto, with multiple tracking and marketing tools embedded. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, it lacks published privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are available. Security headers are assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with clearer policies and enhanced security controls. The website content is safe for general audiences, with no adult or questionable material detected. WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistent registration since 2016, aligning with the business's operational history. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding terms of service, implementing a vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing accessibility and security headers to improve compliance and trust.

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

8 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

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

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

Prague Morning holds a strong market position as the leading English-language media outlet in the Czech Republic. Its business model focuses on news publishing supported by advertising revenue and premium subscriptions. The target customer segment includes expatriates, tourists, and English-speaking locals seeking news about Prague and Czechia. The company leverages partnerships with major social media platforms to extend reach and engagement. Growth indicators include consistent domain registration since 2016 and integration of modern digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes Google services and Vidverto for advertising. Operationally, the company maintains a professional online presence but should enhance compliance documentation to strengthen market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of published privacy, cookie, and terms policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, limiting transparency and readiness. Security headers are not explicitly confirmed, which may expose the site to certain risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for improvement in policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user rights and security commitments.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish security.txt to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Explicitly configure and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a mature content management setup. Integration of Google Analytics and Adsense, along with Vidverto ad platform, shows a well-established digital marketing and monetization strategy. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Some technical debt is suggested by the lack of explicit security headers and incomplete compliance documentation. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve accessibility. The hosting environment uses Cloudflare DNS, but the actual web hosting provider is not identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements in security and compliance.
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.
