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

Direct-Running.cz is a Czech Republic-based e-commerce retailer specializing in running shoes, sports clothing, and running equipment. The website offers a wide selection of popular brands such as Adidas, Asics, Nike, and others, targeting runners and sports enthusiasts. The business model focuses on online retail with promises of fast delivery and secure payment options. The site is moderately sized and appears professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality. Technically, the website leverages Magento CMS (likely OpenMage or Magento 1.x), integrates Google Analytics, Google Ads, and reCAPTCHA for security and marketing purposes. Hosting is managed via Gandi, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses reCAPTCHA to prevent bots, and implements a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are not found in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. Security headers are minimal, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good technical and security foundations but lacks some compliance documentation and WHOIS data consistency. Strategic improvements in privacy policy transparency, security headers, and incident response readiness are recommended.

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

  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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

The company operates in the retail sector, focusing on running and sports gear e-commerce in the Czech market. It offers a broad product catalog segmented by gender, brand, and product type, indicating a well-structured inventory and customer segmentation. The business leverages digital marketing tools and tracking to optimize sales and customer engagement. The absence of detailed company registration or contact information on the site limits transparency but is typical for many e-commerce platforms. The domain's future creation date in WHOIS data suggests a data anomaly rather than a business risk. The company likely targets amateur and professional runners, fitness enthusiasts, and outdoor sports consumers. Growth potential exists through enhanced compliance and security trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA. The use of a consent management platform and Google Consent Mode indicates awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, absence of security.txt, and minimal security headers reduce the overall security maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could hinder timely security issue resolution. The site should improve transparency and implement additional security headers to strengthen defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including abuse and security email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS data for accuracy and ensure domain registration details align with business information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS, likely an OpenMage or Magento 1.x variant, as inferred from URL patterns and asset paths. It uses modern web fonts, asynchronous loading of Google Analytics and Ads scripts, and integrates marketing automation via Actito. The site is hosted on infrastructure managed by Gandi, with nameservers pointing to Gandi's DNS. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and CSS optimizations. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from modernization and enhanced 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.
