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

7 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 business operates in the media sector, targeting Czech-speaking audiences interested in political and social commentary. Its business model combines free editorial content with subscription-based premium offerings. The company maintains a consistent brand presence across multiple social media platforms, enhancing audience engagement and trust. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools indicates a focus on data-driven audience insights and monetization strategies. The absence of public WHOIS data is typical for media companies seeking privacy protection. The company appears to be medium-sized with a solid market position as a cult social weekly magazine with an online presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements multiple security headers, indicating good baseline security hygiene. Consent management via Didomi and integration with GDPR-compliant platforms like Piano and Meiro demonstrate adherence to privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Gemius analytics, Rubicon Project for programmatic advertising, and Piano for subscription management. It is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site demonstrates technical maturity suitable for a media publisher but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility 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.
