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

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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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

      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

ThePrime.cz holds a niche position as a regional real estate news provider for Czechia and Slovakia, leveraging subscription-based content delivery. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized market coverage and multimedia content including podcasts and videos. Revenue streams include subscriptions and advertising partnerships. The target customer segment includes real estate professionals, investors, and market analysts. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and event promotion. The partnership ecosystem includes Cushman & Wakefield and other industry players. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance trust via published privacy and security policies and to expand contact information for improved credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and secure payment integration via Stripe. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, limiting transparency. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Data protection practices show basic GDPR compliance through cookie consent but lack a formal privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with formal policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident response.
  4. Expand contact information to include phone numbers and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins and conduct security audits to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

ThePrime.cz is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Stripe for payments, and various plugins for content and user management. The site uses Autoptimize for caching and performance optimization. Structured data is implemented via JSON-LD for SEO benefits. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and responsive design for mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Hosting appears to be via a Czech registrar and nameservers consistent with the domain. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party plugins which require maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
