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

Vltava.sk is a Slovak online media platform founded in 2018, offering news, lifestyle, business, and advice content primarily targeting Slovak-speaking audiences. The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. Hosting is provided by svethostingu.cz and related name servers. The site demonstrates good content quality and user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and explicit contact information, which impacts its compliance and trustworthiness scores. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring secure communication. Overall, the site is legitimate and stable but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security practices.

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

10 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

      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

The platform operates as a content publishing business focusing on regional news and lifestyle topics. It targets a general Slovak audience interested in current events, business insights, and practical guides. The business model likely relies on advertising and sponsored content, with partnerships indicated by linked domains such as foxiz.themeruby.com and pressmedia.net. The site maintains consistent branding and a professional presentation but lacks explicit trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. Growth potential exists through improved compliance and expanded contact transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are visible, and no security contact channels are provided. The site uses standard WordPress plugins and libraries, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add visible and verified contact information including security incident reporting channels.
  4. Regularly update and audit WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and jQuery library. It loads Google Fonts asynchronously for performance optimization. Hosting is managed by svethostingu.cz with multiple name servers, indicating redundancy. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features and SEO enhancements. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy tools.
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.
