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

Direct Investments is a Czech investment group specializing in building and managing a portfolio of companies primarily in the insurance, mobility, finance, and technology sectors. The group emphasizes Czech ownership and control, aiming to create trustworthy and sustainable businesses. Their market position is strong with over one million clients and a significant annual turnover. The website presents a professional image with clear information about subsidiaries and investment opportunities. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. The presence of Google Tag Manager and cookie consent mechanisms indicates a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. However, some improvements could be made in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has basic privacy mechanisms, but lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency and trustworthiness from a domain registration standpoint. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and design but would benefit from enhanced security disclosures and domain registration transparency to improve its risk profile and compliance posture.

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 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Direct Investments operates as an investment holding company with a diversified portfolio including insurance (Direct pojišťovna), mobility services (Direct auto, Birne by Direct), financial services (Direct Fidoo, Direct Fondee), and technology solutions (Direct technologies). The company targets investors and business clients in the Czech Republic, offering various investment funds with different entry thresholds and expected returns. Their competitive advantage lies in full ownership control, regulatory compliance with the Czech National Bank, and a focus on customer experience. The group has a growing team of over 1,100 members and a strong brand presence in the Czech market. Strategic partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly outlined, supporting a cohesive ecosystem of services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable transparency gap. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a financial services website but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear security incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Improve accessibility compliance to meet WCAG standards for better inclusivity.
  5. Increase transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is publicly available or provide justification for privacy protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering for performance. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and CookiePro for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloads fonts and scripts for faster loading. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in accessibility and SEO metadata completeness. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved privacy disclosures.
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.
