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

Wine.cz is a Czech language specialized portal dedicated to wine, viticulture, and related community activities. It offers a variety of services including articles, forums, classifieds, event calendars, and directories targeting wine enthusiasts and professionals primarily in the Czech Republic. The website uses WordPress CMS with modern plugins and technologies, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and SEO best practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA integration, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust assessment confidence but the site appears legitimate and active. Overall, Wine.cz presents a mature content portal with moderate risk and room for security and privacy 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

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

Wine.cz occupies a niche market focused on wine and viticulture in the Czech Republic, serving a community of enthusiasts and professionals. Its business model revolves around content provision, community engagement, and classified ads. The site leverages partnerships with social media (Facebook) for outreach but does not show evidence of broader commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The portal's growth potential lies in expanding community features and improving compliance and security to build trust. Revenue streams likely include advertising and possibly premium listings or event promotions. The site’s consistent branding and active content indicate a stable market position within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used to protect forms from abuse. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages were found, limiting transparency. The absence of explicit cookie consent mechanisms may also pose compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness and data protection officer information are not publicly available, indicating room for improvement in security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing data protection officer contact details and security policies to build user trust and demonstrate compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap grid, and popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and ExactMetrics for Google Analytics integration. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses Google Fonts and Facebook SDK for social integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
