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

Akvamex.cz is an e-commerce retailer specializing in aquarium, terrarium, and pet supplies, with a physical store located in Chrudim, Czech Republic. The website offers a wide range of products including aquaristics equipment, terraristics accessories, cages, and pet food. It targets hobbyists and pet owners seeking specialized products and expert advice. The business model combines online sales with in-person retail and consultancy services. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA to enhance user experience and security. The site is mobile-optimized and features a clear navigation structure, although it lacks a publicly accessible privacy policy and detailed security policies. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and form protections, but could be improved with additional security headers and transparency about incident response. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces trust but does not contradict the business's legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and functional with moderate risk and room for compliance 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

7 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 operates in the niche retail sector focused on aquarium and terrarium supplies, serving a specialized market in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its expert advice, comprehensive product catalog, and physical store presence. Revenue streams are primarily from online and in-store sales. The target customers are pet enthusiasts and hobbyists. The website's partnership ecosystem includes integration with Heureka for product marketing and Google services for analytics and advertising. Growth indicators include active content updates and new product offerings. Strategic observations suggest enhancing transparency and compliance to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers, which are important for compliance and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent mechanisms but is incomplete without a privacy policy. The absence of WHOIS registrant data is a minor concern but common for small retail sites using privacy protection. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible, suggesting an area for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit security incident response contact information and consider a published security policy.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider obtaining security certifications or trust badges to increase customer confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, there is no visible use of popular CMS platforms like WordPress or Magento. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adding accessibility features and optimizing security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs adequately but has room for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
