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

Selectedmag.cz is a Czech luxury lifestyle online magazine focusing on inspirational products, experiences, and real estate. It operates in partnership with the real estate company Svoboda & Williams, positioning itself as a niche media brand targeting affluent consumers interested in design, art, travel, and luxury living. The website features professional design, clear navigation, and regularly updated content, reflecting a mature digital presence since at least 2020. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 6.7.2 with performance optimizations via WP Rocket and uses modern tracking and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with structured data and Open Graph metadata implemented. However, it lacks some security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy linked externally on the partner domain, showing GDPR awareness but missing cookie consent banners. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for media businesses, but limits domain trust verification. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its market niche. Strategic improvements in security and privacy transparency would enhance its credibility and compliance posture.

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

10 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      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.

Business context

Business profile

Selectedmag.cz operates as a luxury lifestyle media outlet with a business model centered on content publication and advertising, supported by a strategic partnership with Svoboda & Williams, a real estate company. This partnership likely provides revenue streams from real estate promotion alongside traditional media advertising. The target audience includes affluent Czech consumers interested in luxury lifestyle, design, and travel. The site demonstrates consistent branding and quality content, indicating a stable market position within the Czech luxury media segment. The presence of professional editorial staff and regular content updates suggests operational maturity and growth potential. The partnership ecosystem includes web development (bicepsdigital.com) and advertising networks (imedia.cz), supporting digital marketing and monetization efforts.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with user consent checkboxes, reflecting good baseline security practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. No public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure information is available, indicating limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is partial, with a GDPR-compliant privacy policy linked externally but no cookie consent banner detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in headers, transparency, and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response information on the website to increase trust and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and remediation of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform (version 6.7.2) with performance enhancements via WP Rocket caching and lazy loading. It uses Tiny Slider for UI components and integrates Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The HTML is valid and well-structured, supporting accessibility and usability. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is fast with optimized images and preloading strategies. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
