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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Business profile

Denník N operates in the media sector with a focus on independent journalism. Its business model revolves around digital subscriptions complemented by advertising revenue. The company was founded in 2014, consistent with the domain registration date, and maintains a medium-sized operation. The website's integration with payment gateways and discussion forums suggests a well-rounded ecosystem supporting user engagement and monetization. The presence of social media links and active marketing tools indicates a strategic approach to audience growth and retention. The company does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies publicly listed, emphasizing its independent status. Trust indicators such as HTTPS, privacy policies, and subscription services reinforce its credibility in the market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes essential security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, reflecting good security hygiene. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact page is a gap in transparency and preparedness. There is also no public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance trust and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. The use of multiple third-party scripts and analytics services necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with more explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Vue.js used for frontend components, indicating a modern hybrid architecture. It leverages Google Fonts for typography and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Gemius, and OneSignal for push notifications. Payment processing is integrated via TrustPay, supporting subscription services. The site uses Google SwG for subscription management and account linking, reflecting advanced digital subscription capabilities. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of key resources, though further optimization could improve speed. SEO is well supported with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports the business model effectively.
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.
