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

7 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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Šport.sk holds a leading position in the Slovak sports media market, benefiting from its affiliation with the well-established Aktuality.sk brand. Its competitive advantage lies in real-time sports data delivery, extensive sports coverage, and integration with betting affiliates, which likely contribute to diversified revenue streams. The target customer segment includes Slovak sports fans seeking timely news and live updates. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and adoption of modern web technologies. The partnership ecosystem includes major advertising networks and betting platforms, enhancing monetization. Operationally, the site maintains a professional content strategy with consistent branding and quality visuals, supporting user retention and market relevance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant consent management via Sourcepoint. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents compliance gaps. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Enhancing security headers and publishing a security.txt file would improve transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media website but could benefit from formalized policies and improved user communication regarding security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation.
  3. Establish and publicize a security policy including incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and advertising integrations for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

Šport.sk is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, JWPlayer for video content, and Sourcepoint for consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Advertising is managed through Google AdSense and PubMatic, with dynamic ad slot definitions for responsive delivery. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and employs Splide.js for interactive carousels. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and prefetching strategies. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary content management solution. Opportunities exist to optimize accessibility and security headers further to reduce technical debt and enhance compliance.
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.
