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, motorsport, and winter sports. The platform targets sports enthusiasts primarily within the Czech Republic and operates under an advertising-supported business model. It is likely affiliated with Seznam.cz, a major Czech internet company, which enhances its market position and credibility. The website provides live scores, news articles, video highlights, and a fantasy sports league, catering to a broad audience of sports fans. From a technical perspective, Sport.cz employs modern web technologies including ES modules, SVG graphics, and CSS3, ensuring good mobile optimization and a professional user experience. The site integrates with Seznam.cz's internal APIs and uses various tracking and advertising services such as Gemius and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and explicit privacy compliance features. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and appears to follow good security practices, although explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. The absence of public WHOIS data due to privacy protection is common for media websites but limits trust signals from domain registration information. No signs of malicious activity or adult content were detected, indicating a safe environment for general audiences. Overall, Sport.cz is a well-established media platform with a solid technical foundation and good business credibility. However, it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance transparency, explicit security policies, and improved accessibility features to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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 holds a leading position in the Czech sports media market, leveraging its affiliation with Seznam.cz to access a wide user base and advertising ecosystem. Its business model relies on advertising revenue generated through display ads and tracking technologies. The platform's diverse sports coverage and multimedia content attract a broad demographic of sports fans, supporting strong user engagement. The integration of a fantasy league adds interactive value and user retention. While the website does not publicly disclose detailed company information or contact data, its association with a reputable parent company and professional presentation indicate stable operations. Growth opportunities include expanding privacy and security transparency and enhancing user data protection measures to align with evolving regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and use of modern JavaScript frameworks that reduce common vulnerabilities. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options could expose the site to certain risks like clickjacking or content injection. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, which limits transparency and user confidence in security incident handling. The use of third-party tracking and advertising scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting comprehensive security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly disclose a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page (security.txt) to increase transparency and encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to mitigate supply chain security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

Sport.cz uses a custom JavaScript framework (IMA) with ES module support and fallback scripts for compatibility. The site employs SVG for logos and icons, CSS3 for styling, and integrates with Seznam.cz's internal APIs. Performance is moderate with preloading and preconnect hints to optimize resource loading. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by canonical links, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata, although meta description and keywords are empty. Accessibility is basic with ARIA landmarks and headings but could be improved. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain uses CDN services from Seznam's infrastructure. Overall, the technical stack is modern and well-structured but could benefit from enhanced SEO metadata and accessibility improvements.
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.
