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

Sport.cz is a prominent Czech sports news portal offering extensive coverage of multiple sports disciplines including football, hockey, tennis, and motorsport. The site targets Czech sports fans with news, live results, fantasy leagues, and podcasts. It is integrated within the Seznam.cz ecosystem, which enhances its market position and user trust. The website employs modern web technologies and demonstrates good design, navigation, and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and secure login integration, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trust but does not detract from the site's operational legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and security policies, enhancing transparency, and improving domain registration visibility.

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 online sports media market, leveraging Seznam.cz's platform and brand. Its business model relies on advertising revenue supported by high traffic and user engagement through fantasy leagues and multimedia content. The site serves a broad audience of sports enthusiasts and maintains a comprehensive sports coverage portfolio. Partnerships with Seznam.cz and use of local ad networks like Sklik and Gemius strengthen its monetization and analytics capabilities. The absence of explicit company contact details and privacy disclosures suggests areas for business process improvement, especially in compliance and user trust domains.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates secure login mechanisms via Seznam.cz, indicating a mature security baseline. However, the lack of explicit security headers in the provided data and absence of public security or incident response policies highlight potential gaps in transparency and formal security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and implementing comprehensive security headers to enhance protection and user confidence. GDPR compliance indicators are minimal, with no visible cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and disclose a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Improve domain WHOIS transparency to strengthen domain trust and legitimacy.
  5. Increase transparency around data collection, retention, and user tracking practices.

Technical notes

Notes

Sport.cz uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end architecture with ES modules and Webpack bundling. The site employs lazy loading for images and SVG icons for UI elements, contributing to good performance and user experience. Integration with Seznam.cz APIs and login services indicates a robust platform ecosystem. SEO and accessibility practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary content management solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable and user-friendly sports news platform.
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.
