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

CENTROPEN, a.s. operates the AIRPENS website, offering specialized airbrush markers designed for children aged 4 and up. The company emphasizes safety, creativity, and local manufacturing in the Czech Republic, maintaining compliance with European toy safety standards. The website serves as a product showcase and resource hub, including downloadable stencils and instructional videos, targeting parents and educators seeking safe creative tools for children. The business holds a solid market position as a reputable manufacturer with a long history dating back to 1940, leveraging local production to ensure quality and safety. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and reCAPTCHA for form protection. Hosting appears to be with Wedos, a known Czech hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS enabled and form protection via reCAPTCHA, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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';…

  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 targets the children's creative supplies market, focusing on airbrush markers and related accessories. Its competitive advantage lies in local Czech manufacturing, adherence to European safety standards, and a comprehensive product ecosystem including stencils and video guides. Revenue streams likely include direct B2B and B2C sales, supported by downloadable content and marketing via social media and online channels. The partnership ecosystem includes related language sites and the parent corporate site centropen.eu. Growth indicators include multi-language support and active marketing tools. The business model is manufacturing and retail with a strong emphasis on product safety and educational value.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA protects the contact form against spam. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (such as CSP, HSTS), and published security or incident response policies indicates gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent but lacks a privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small to medium business but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a modern tech stack including Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and reCAPTCHA. The presence of bxSlider indicates use of jQuery or similar libraries for UI components. Hosting is likely provided by Wedos, a reputable Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD detected. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adopting modern frameworks and enhancing accessibility and SEO. No critical technical risks were identified.
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.
