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

3 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Profimedia.CZ a.s. holds a dominant position in the Central European media licensing market, leveraging a vast archive and daily influx of new content to serve a diverse clientele including media outlets, marketing agencies, and publishers. Their partnership with Shutterstock and representation of over 100 photographers provide competitive advantages through content variety and quality. The business model centers on licensing and distribution of editorial and commercial images and videos, supplemented by value-added services such as exhibitions and custom photography. The company targets professional users requiring reliable, high-quality visual content, supported by a robust digital platform and regional presence across multiple countries. Growth indicators include extensive daily content additions and strategic partnerships. The company maintains a professional brand image and transparent contact channels, fostering trust and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header implemented to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with privacy regulations. However, the site lacks several recommended security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against clickjacking, cross-site scripting, and protocol downgrade attacks. No public security policy or incident response information is available, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity and readiness. Third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Smartsupp chat are used, necessitating ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve user experience for all visitors and meet regulatory standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, notably React for frontend components, and integrates third-party services such as Smartsupp chat and Google Analytics for user engagement and analytics. The site employs a Content-Security-Policy header to restrict resource loading, enhancing security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence, though opportunities exist for performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
