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

RESPEKT.cz is a Czech independent weekly news magazine focusing on current domestic and international politics, economy, culture, and social issues. It offers a subscription-based business model with rich multimedia content including articles, podcasts, photo galleries, and newsletters. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and targets Czech-speaking audiences interested in in-depth news and commentary. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, with good performance and SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers implemented, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not clearly found in the content. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the overall presentation and content quality indicate a legitimate media entity. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear privacy and cookie policies, providing contact information for security incidents, and enhancing transparency on data protection.

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

  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

      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

      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

RESPEKT operates in the media sector as an important entity providing independent journalism in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its established brand, subscription model, and diversified content offerings including podcasts and special reports. The target customers are politically and socially engaged Czech readers. The company leverages social media channels for audience engagement and drives revenue through subscriptions and advertising. Growth indicators include active multimedia content and digital presence. Partnerships include subscription and e-commerce domains under the respekt.cz umbrella. The business model is focused on quality journalism with a strong editorial voice.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and lack of a published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicate room for improvement in compliance and incident response readiness. No signs of malware or phishing were found. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and user trust by publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies linked in the website footer.
  2. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details to comply with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Enhance user consent mechanisms for cookies and tracking to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack using React and Next.js frameworks, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. It uses Typekit for fonts and serves images with responsive srcsets for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with semantic HTML and ARIA labels. Performance is fast with deferred loading of scripts and optimized assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience and robust content delivery.
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.
