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

Smiling Way is a Czech-language travel blog established in 2018, providing travel inspiration, tips, and detailed guides primarily targeting Czech-speaking travel enthusiasts. The website leverages WordPress with the Astra theme and LiteSpeed caching, supported by Cloudflare DNS services, indicating a modern and moderately optimized technical infrastructure. While the site demonstrates good content quality, SEO, and mobile responsiveness, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and explicit security policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by implementing security headers and formal policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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 website operates as a niche travel blog focusing on European and global destinations, catering to a small but dedicated Czech-speaking audience. Its business model centers on content creation and possibly monetization through advertising (Google AdSense) and partnerships (e.g., GetYourGuide). The presence of structured data and social media integration suggests an intent to maintain visibility and engagement. However, the absence of explicit business registration details and contact information limits full business credibility. Growth potential exists through expanded content and improved compliance measures.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate, with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare DNS usage providing baseline protection. However, the lack of security headers, absence of incident response or security policies, and no visible vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicate gaps in security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site should implement security headers, publish security and incident response policies, and consider a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add clear contact information including company email and phone numbers.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  5. Establish and publish security and incident response policies and consider a security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress 6.8.2 with the Astra theme and LiteSpeed Cache plugin, indicating a modern CMS setup optimized for performance. jQuery 3.7.1 is used for client-side scripting. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, which may provide CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of explicit privacy and security policies, which could impact compliance and user trust.
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.
