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

      • 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

Pravda.sk holds a strong market position as a major Slovak news provider with a diversified content offering spanning news, sports, lifestyle, and specialized magazines. The company leverages partnerships with related media domains and integrates multiple advertising networks and analytics platforms to monetize and optimize user engagement. The business model is primarily ad-driven, supported by extensive tracking and consent management to comply with GDPR. The target customer base is the Slovak-speaking general public seeking reliable news and media content. The company demonstrates digital maturity with a comprehensive ecosystem of related domains and content verticals, indicating strategic growth and market penetration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, anonymized IP tracking in analytics, and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Didomi. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a media website but could be enhanced with formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve usability for all users including those with disabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics GA4, Google Tag Manager, Didomi CMP, Chartbeat, and multiple advertising platforms such as Google Ad Manager and Gemius. Fonts are served via Google Fonts, and the site uses asynchronous JavaScript loading to optimize performance. The CMS appears custom-built with structured navigation and responsive design. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Hosting provider details are not explicit but HTTPS and security configurations are good. The site integrates multiple external domains for analytics, advertising, and content delivery, reflecting a complex but well-managed infrastructure.
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.
