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

SPORTOVNÍ ZPRÁVY is a Czech sports news aggregation website focusing on football, hockey, tennis, and auto-moto news. It aggregates and links to external sports articles from various reputable Czech sports news sources. The website has been operational since 2007, indicating a stable presence in the Czech sports media niche. The business model appears to be content aggregation supported by advertising revenue through embedded iframes and tracking pixels. Technically, the website uses basic HTML and CSS with iframes for advertising and external content. The site lacks modern web technologies, mobile optimization, and accessibility features. Notably, the website does not use HTTPS, which is a significant security and trust concern. The absence of privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies further indicates limited compliance with modern web standards and regulations. From a security perspective, the site shows minimal security best practices. There are no security headers, no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies, and no secure form handling. The use of HTTP for embedded content increases the risk of mixed content issues. The WHOIS data is consistent and supports the legitimacy of the domain, but the lack of HTTPS and privacy policies reduces overall trust. Overall, the website is functional for basic sports news aggregation but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to meet current standards and user expectations.

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.

Priority findings

8 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

  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

      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

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 targets Czech-speaking sports enthusiasts interested in football, hockey, tennis, and auto-moto. It operates as a small media entity aggregating sports news from multiple external sources, leveraging partnerships with various Czech sports news portals. The business model relies on advertising revenue, as evidenced by multiple ad iframes and tracking pixels. The site has a moderate market position within the Czech sports news niche but lacks direct content creation or unique offerings. The absence of clear business contact information and policies limits transparency and potential growth opportunities. The partnership ecosystem is broad in terms of linked sports sites but lacks formalized business relationships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak. The lack of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to data interception and undermines trust. No security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS are present, increasing the risk of cross-site scripting and other attacks. Forms are minimal and lack visible security controls. There is no evidence of incident response readiness or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is poor, with no GDPR-related policies or cookie consent mechanisms. The site uses HTTP for embedded content, which can lead to mixed content warnings and security risks. Overall, the site requires urgent security upgrades to protect users and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS across the entire website with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Secure all forms with proper validation and anti-CSRF tokens to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Modernize the website design to improve mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack primarily consisting of HTML and CSS with embedded iframes for advertising and external content. There is no evidence of a modern CMS or JavaScript frameworks. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate but could be improved by reducing reliance on external HTTP iframes and optimizing assets. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. The hosting and DNS are managed by Czech providers consistent with the target audience. Technical debt is evident in outdated charset usage (windows-1250) and duplicated meta tags. Overall, the site would benefit from modernization and adoption of current web standards.
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.
