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

Abies.sk is an e-commerce website operated by Lesoochranárske zoskupenie VLK, a Slovak environmental organization focused on publishing and distributing ecological literature and related merchandise. The website offers a catalog of books, DVDs, CDs, and promotional goods centered on deep ecology and forest conservation. The business operates a niche publishing model targeting environmentally conscious readers and activists. Technically, the site uses the CubeCart CMS platform with Foundation CSS and jQuery libraries, hosted likely by Websupport, and benefits from DNSSEC and HTTPS security. The site is mobile-optimized with a moderate performance profile. Security posture is adequate with encrypted connections and DNSSEC but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are visible, relying on contact forms for communication. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

    • 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 company positions itself as a specialized ecological publisher and distributor with a long domain history since 2003, indicating stable operations. Its market niche is focused on ecological and forestry literature, serving a small but dedicated audience. The business model is direct online retail with a catalog of products for sale. The parent organization, Lesoochranárske zoskupenie VLK, is linked and likely provides organizational support. The website lacks visible social media presence or extensive marketing tools, suggesting a focused but limited digital marketing approach. The absence of phone or email contacts may limit customer trust and responsiveness. The partnership with wolf.sk indicates a broader environmental network. Overall, the business intelligence points to a credible, small-scale ecological publisher with room for digital growth.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and DNSSEC, which are strong indicators of secure domain and transport layers. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the defense-in-depth posture. No security policy or incident response information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The site uses common JavaScript libraries but no evidence of vulnerability scanning or mitigation is visible. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may expose the business to GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookies.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Include visible company contact emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and communication.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on CubeCart CMS with Foundation CSS framework and uses jQuery and Modernizr libraries, indicating a moderately modern tech stack. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses Font Awesome for icons. Hosting is inferred to be Websupport based on nameservers. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. SEO is basic with canonical links and meta tags but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA landmarks or advanced features detected. The site uses multiple CSS files and JavaScript plugins for UI enhancements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility 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.
