Risk levelMedium

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

Press21 s.r.o. is a small Czech media and marketing consultancy company specializing in publishing B2B magazines and providing public relations and marketing communication services. Their portfolio includes niche publications targeting retail, beauty, wellness, senior citizens, and fashion retail sectors. The company has a consistent brand presence and a clear business focus, supported by a domain registered since 2010, which aligns with their market maturity. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 4.9.28 with legacy JavaScript libraries and Google Analytics implementation, indicating moderate digital maturity but with room for modernization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but outdated software and lack of security headers present vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from technical and compliance improvements.

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

6 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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"

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 company operates in the media sector with a focus on B2B publishing and marketing consultancy. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized niche publications and flexible small-firm approach. Revenue streams likely include advertising, publishing, and consultancy fees. The target customers are professionals in retail and related industries. Partnerships with other Czech portals and services enhance their ecosystem. Growth indicators are moderate given the long domain age and stable portfolio. The company maintains a clear market position as a regional media and PR service provider.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent in place. However, the use of outdated WordPress and jQuery versions exposes the site to potential vulnerabilities. The absence of modern security headers and updated analytics tracking reduces overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is available, indicating limited formal security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partial, lacking explicit privacy policies. The business impact of these gaps includes potential data exposure and reputational risk. Enhancing software updates and security controls is recommended to improve resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement modern security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Upgrade Google Analytics to the latest tracking code (GA4) and review data retention policies.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and publish security contact information to enhance security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older WordPress version (4.9.28) with legacy jQuery (1.12.4) and uses the Contact Form 7 and Cookie Notice plugins. Google Maps API and legacy Google Analytics (ga.js) are integrated. Hosting is likely provided by Websupport based on nameservers. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility features are present but minimal. The technical debt from outdated software versions poses risks and modernization opportunities exist to improve security, performance, 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.
