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

8 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 site occupies a significant position in the Czech media landscape as an online extension of a cult social weekly magazine. Its business model relies on a mix of free content and premium subscription offerings, supported by advertising revenue from reputable ad networks. The presence of multiple social media channels and partnerships with payment and subscription platforms like ikiosek.cz and cncenter.cz indicate a robust ecosystem. The content is authored by recognized journalists, enhancing credibility and market differentiation. Growth potential lies in expanding premium subscriptions and multimedia content.

Security posture

Reflex.cz maintains a solid security posture with HTTPS, consent-based tracking, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of modern consent management and analytics tools aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. Security headers are partially implemented but could be enhanced. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the analyzed content. The site should consider publishing explicit security and incident response information to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Enhance HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy for improved protection.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks for security and privacy compliance.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards for inclusive user experience.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and provide clear user controls over personal data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks, Marfeel SDK for mobile optimization, and advanced ad and analytics platforms. It is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts that may impact load times. Hosting details are not explicit, but CDN usage is evident. The site could benefit from further optimization to improve speed and 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.
