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

PressMedia.net is a small media business specializing in article writing and publication services targeted at the Czech and Slovak markets. The company offers various packages for SEO optimized lifestyle articles and publication in a network of partner magazines and websites. The website is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, supporting e-commerce transactions through a custom platform. Technically, the site uses modern tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA for security on login forms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but lacks security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the business appears operational and credible but would benefit from improved transparency and privacy 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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, focusing on content marketing and PR article publication. Its business model is e-commerce based, selling article writing and publication packages. The target audience includes businesses and individuals seeking to enhance their online presence through published articles. The website integrates with multiple partner domains, expanding its reach. While the company maintains a professional online presence, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and privacy policies may affect trust. The use of Google tracking tools indicates a data-driven marketing approach, though user tracking is minimal. The company is positioned as a niche player in the Czech and Slovak content marketing space.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect login forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is basic, with no cookie consent banner detected and limited GDPR indicators. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy mechanisms, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner and privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate commitment to security and transparency.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to prevent vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary e-commerce platform with modern front-end technologies including CSS3, HTML5, JavaScript, and libraries like Swiper.js for sliders. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with preloading of CSS and JS assets. The login and registration forms use reCAPTCHA for bot protection. However, no advanced frameworks or CMS were detected. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and improved security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
