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

Denník N is a well-established independent Slovak daily news media outlet founded in 2014. It operates a subscription-based business model complemented by advertising revenue. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides high-quality journalistic content targeted at the general Slovak-speaking public interested in current affairs. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and trust signals including transparent WHOIS data and active social media engagement. Technically, the website leverages WordPress CMS with modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, OneSignal for push notifications, and uses a CDN for content delivery. The site is secured with HTTPS and employs security headers to protect users. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is strong with no critical vulnerabilities detected, proper SSL configuration, and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, there is room for improvement by publishing explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is good, with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent banners. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with high business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing accessibility, formalizing security policies, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security and 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

9 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

  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"

    • 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

Denník N holds a leading position in the Slovak independent media sector, focusing on quality journalism and subscription services. Its revenue streams include digital subscriptions, advertising, and e-commerce related to content bookmarks. The target audience is Slovak-speaking general public interested in news. The company operates multiple related domains for subscriptions, e-commerce, and community discussions, indicating a diversified digital ecosystem. The business model emphasizes trust and independence, supported by transparent domain registration and consistent branding. Growth indicators include active digital engagement and mobile app availability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and vulnerability disclosure channel limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance security readiness. Overall, the site follows best practices but could benefit from formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user protections.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses a variety of modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, OneSignal for push notifications, and Gemius for analytics. It employs a CDN (Protag) for content delivery and integrates advertising via Google Ad Manager and DoubleClick. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
