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

Webmagazin.Teraz.sk is an online news and lifestyle portal operated by the Slovak national news agency TASR. It provides a broad range of content including news, business, culture, health, and entertainment primarily targeting Slovak-speaking audiences. The site is supported by advertising and integrates multiple third-party ad and tracking services with GDPR-compliant consent management. The business is well-established with consistent branding and clear contact information, reinforcing its credibility in the Slovak media market. Technically, the site uses a mix of older and modern web technologies including jQuery, Facebook SDK, and Google Analytics, with a CMS named Malina. While the site is accessible and performs moderately well, some technical debt is evident due to outdated libraries. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and cookie consent, but lacks published security policies and advanced security headers. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy with room for technical and security improvements.

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 website is a medium-sized media entity under TASR, Slovakia's official news agency. It operates as an advertising-supported online publication targeting general Slovak audiences interested in news and lifestyle content. The business model relies on ad revenues from networks like AdOcean and tracking via Gemius and Quantcast. The site maintains partnerships with related TASR media properties and social media channels. The content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a strong market position in Slovak digital media. Growth potential exists through modernization of technology and enhanced user engagement. The company maintains transparent contact details and legal compliance, reinforcing trust with users and advertisers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS. The use of outdated jQuery 1.8.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities that should be addressed. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security documentation and upgrading legacy libraries to reduce risk. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a media portal but can be improved to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement and configure advanced HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of older JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.8.1, jQuery UI 1.8.23) alongside modern tracking and advertising scripts from AdOcean, Gemius, Quantcast, and Google Analytics. The CMS platform is Malina, a custom or less common system. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta keywords and titles present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses asynchronous script loading and consent management for GDPR compliance. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries, which poses security and maintenance risks. Modernization and performance tuning could enhance stability and user experience.
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.
