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

Alpress - knižní distribuce s.r.o. operates as a Czech book publishing and online retail company specializing in a wide range of literary genres including novels, thrillers, children's books, and popular science literature. The company holds a leading market position in the Czech book publishing sector, offering direct sales through its online platform. The website presents a professional and content-rich interface targeting a broad audience of book readers and enthusiasts. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, and integrates analytics and customer review widgets, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in security headers and privacy policy transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and functional, but the absence of WHOIS data and a dedicated privacy policy page slightly reduce its credibility from a compliance perspective.

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 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

      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

  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

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 is positioned as a medium-sized retail entity within the Czech Republic's book publishing industry. It leverages partnerships with e-book platforms, payment processors, and literary portals to enhance its market reach. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales via an online bookstore, supported by a catalog of diverse genres and authors. The presence of partner logos and integration with popular Czech book-related services suggests a well-established ecosystem. Growth indicators include active promotion of new releases and a customer engagement strategy via social media and review platforms. The company maintains a professional online presence but lacks publicly visible detailed corporate registration or VAT information on the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent banners, but the lack of a clear privacy policy page and incident response contacts indicates gaps in comprehensive security governance. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls and clearer communication of data protection practices to improve user trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly outlining data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and publicize incident response contacts and procedures to enhance security transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or proprietary CMS platform utilizing jQuery and integrates several third-party services such as Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, Pinterest widgets for social engagement, and Heureka widgets for customer reviews. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and event tracking. The site loads a moderate number of external scripts which may impact performance but overall loading times are acceptable. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for breadcrumbs and organization information. Accessibility and mobile responsiveness are basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack and improve performance and security configurations.
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.
