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

Sport.cz is a prominent Czech sports news website offering comprehensive coverage of various sports including football, hockey, tennis, and motorsport. It targets sports enthusiasts primarily in the Czech Republic, providing news articles, live scores, video highlights, and fantasy league features. The site is well-branded and integrated within the Seznam.cz ecosystem, a major Czech internet portal. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks and SVG graphics, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses some best practices, but lacks visible security and privacy policies, which could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the website's content and structure indicate a legitimate and professional media outlet.

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.

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

Sport.cz operates as an advertising-supported online media platform specializing in sports news. Its market position is strong within the Czech Republic, leveraging partnerships with Seznam.cz and offering diverse sports content and interactive features like fantasy leagues. The business model relies on advertising revenue and user engagement through live updates and multimedia content. The target audience includes Czech sports fans seeking timely and relevant sports information. The site demonstrates consistent branding and professional content quality, supporting its credibility in the media sector.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. It uses modern JavaScript with fallback mechanisms and reports client-side errors to internal endpoints. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Enhancing security headers and publishing privacy and security policies would strengthen the overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom JavaScript framework (IMA) developed by Seznam.cz, leveraging modern ES modules and SVG for graphics. It preloads critical assets and uses asynchronous script loading for performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like ARIA labels. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Hosting details are not disclosed in the HTML content.
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.
