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

Ateliér PKO s.r.o., operating under the brand APKO, is a specialized engineering firm focused on road communications and related infrastructure services in the Czech Republic. Their offerings include road design, traffic engineering, expert opinions, safety audits, environmental assessments, and professional translations. The company targets professionals and organizations involved in transportation infrastructure projects, positioning itself as a niche service provider with a clear and consistent brand presence. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. While the site is moderately optimized for performance and basic mobile responsiveness, it lacks advanced accessibility features and modern frameworks. SEO is basic but sufficient for the content presented. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes Google Analytics scripts loaded securely. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security or privacy policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No forms or input fields were detected on the analyzed page, reducing immediate risk exposure. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website content, indicating legitimacy and consistent registration information. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and clearer incident response information to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319

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

APKO operates in the transportation sector, focusing on engineering and consulting services related to road infrastructure. Their business model centers on providing specialized technical services including design, audits, and expert evaluations. The company appears to be small-sized, serving a niche market primarily within the Czech Republic. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service offering that includes technical standards development and multilingual professional translations, catering to diverse client needs. The presence of detailed contact information and a professional website supports credibility. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, suggesting a focused operational scope. Growth indicators are not explicitly available but the detailed service list implies a stable business with potential for expansion in infrastructure projects.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data publicly. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR requirements. The lack of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information suggests limited readiness for security incidents. Use of Google Analytics without visible consent mechanisms may pose privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Upgrade mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. It uses external JavaScript libraries such as Google Analytics and a lightBox plugin (likely jQuery-based). The site includes separate CSS for screen and print media. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, with no explicit responsive design frameworks detected. SEO is supported by meta description and robots tags but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. No forms or interactive input elements were found on the analyzed page, reducing complexity but also limiting user engagement features. Hosting provider and server details were not available from the provided data.
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.
