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

Birell.cz is the official website of Birell, a leading Czech non-alcoholic beer brand owned by Asahi CE & Europe Services s.r.o. The company has a strong market position in the Czech Republic, offering innovative non-alcoholic beers and radlers with a focus on flavor variety and health-conscious options. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and integrates Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager. It features a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR and provides clear contact information including an email and physical address. However, the absence of a publicly accessible privacy policy page and missing WHOIS data limit full trust assessment. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing a security policy. Overall, the website is professional, user-friendly, and well-branded, supporting the company's market leadership.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Birell operates in the retail sector, specifically in non-alcoholic beverages, targeting Czech consumers. The business model focuses on product innovation and distribution through retail partners and horeca channels. The website highlights key product lines such as the Active series with caffeine and reduced sugar, indicating responsiveness to market trends. Partnerships with major Czech online retailers like Rohlík, Košík, and Tesco enhance market reach. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent digital presence. Growth indicators include new product launches and active marketing campaigns. The lack of detailed financial or corporate registration data on the site suggests a focus on consumer-facing content rather than corporate transparency online.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner that categorizes cookies and allows user control, reflecting good privacy practices. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking with cookies expiring up to one year. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) were detected, and no security or incident response policies are published. The contact form uses a popular WordPress plugin but no explicit anti-spam or security measures were identified in the content. The absence of WHOIS data and security.txt file reduces transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with jQuery 3.7.1 and uses standard plugins like Contact Form 7 and CookieScript for consent management. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted external sources. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimization detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile menus. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes on forms but no advanced features detected. SEO is basic with meta viewport and robots directives but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a mid-sized WordPress site with opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
