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

CountryLife is a well-established Czech company specializing in organic food products, natural cosmetics, and ecological household items. Founded in 1991, it has positioned itself as a pioneer and leader in the Czech organic retail market. The company operates both online and physical stores, offering a wide range of bioproducts and promoting a healthy lifestyle through recipes and educational content. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and active social media engagement. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA for security. It is mobile optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates compliance with GDPR requirements. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not visible, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements reCAPTCHA on forms, reducing risk from automated abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is common and justified for this type of business. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good security hygiene. Strategically, CountryLife should enhance transparency by publishing security policies and incident response contacts, and consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program. Improving security headers and monitoring for vulnerabilities will further strengthen their posture. The company’s strong market position and digital maturity provide a solid foundation for continued growth and trust building with customers.

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

6 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 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

      • 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

CountryLife operates in the retail sector focusing on organic and natural products, targeting health-conscious consumers primarily in the Czech Republic. Its competitive advantage lies in its early market entry and comprehensive product range including food, cosmetics, and household items. Revenue streams include e-commerce sales, physical store sales, and wholesale services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem evident from its wholesale subdomain and active social media channels. Growth indicators include regular content updates, recipe sharing, and app availability. The business model emphasizes quality, sustainability, and customer education, positioning it well in the expanding organic market segment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No security headers were detected in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating good operational security. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room to enhance security culture and incident management. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of company contact information, including support and security contacts.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used and maintain up-to-date software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA. It loads CSS and fonts efficiently with preload hints and lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities to improve security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
