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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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 positions itself as a local media outlet focusing on news and events in the Central Bohemian region. Its business model revolves around content publishing and advertising, with partnerships evident through linked advertising domains. The site is relatively new, founded in 2021, and targets a small to medium local audience. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers may limit direct user engagement. The use of WordPress and common plugins suggests a standard approach to content management without advanced customizations. Advertising practices are minimal and lack transparency, and no analytics or tracking services are detected, which may impact marketing insights and monetization strategies.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is basic and could be improved. The domain is registered with clientTransferProhibited status, which helps prevent unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are present in the HTML content. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or SSL configuration details in the provided data. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance issues with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which may affect the site's readiness to handle security incidents. Overall, the site should enhance its security measures and compliance documentation to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  3. Add essential security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  5. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using multiple plugins and jQuery libraries, indicating a standard content management setup. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS services, but no CDN or performance optimization details are evident. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile responsiveness. SEO optimization is basic with some meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. The site uses image thumbnails and sliders for content presentation, enhancing user experience. However, the absence of analytics and tracking tools limits data-driven insights. Technical debt appears moderate with opportunities for modernization, especially in security and compliance areas.
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.
