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

ALPA, a.s. is a Czech company specializing in natural and traditional cosmetic products including massage embrocations, children’s cosmetics, and athlete preparations. The company leverages over 100 years of tradition and targets consumers seeking natural, family-friendly health and cosmetic products. Their market position is that of a well-established medium-sized manufacturer and retailer within the Czech Republic, emphasizing quality and heritage. Technically, the website is built on the xartCMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as MooTools and jQuery plugins. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, though accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with GDPR consent checkboxes. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency and trustworthiness, but the professional presentation and clear contact details mitigate some concerns. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy with moderate technical and security maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response disclosures would enhance compliance and trust.

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

  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

      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
  • 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

ALPA, a.s. operates in the retail sector focusing on natural cosmetics and massage products with a strong heritage brand in the Czech Republic. Their competitive advantage lies in their long tradition, proprietary development, and family-oriented product lines. The business model centers on manufacturing and direct retail of a broad product range including embrocations, children’s cosmetics, and athlete preparations. The target customers are families, athletes, and consumers seeking natural health products. The company maintains an active social media presence and offers newsletter subscriptions to engage customers. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The company appears stable with consistent branding and a clear product catalog, positioning it well in its niche market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including GDPR consent. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of WHOIS data is a transparency concern but does not directly indicate compromise. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could improve its security maturity by adopting best practices in headers, policies, and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a detailed privacy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms for cookies.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program and hosting a security.txt file.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the xartCMS platform using JavaScript libraries such as MooTools and jQuery plugins for UI components like popups. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the lack of security headers and limited accessibility features indicate technical debt. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
