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

dm Slovensko operates a well-branded online drugstore e-commerce platform targeting Slovak consumers with a broad range of personal care and health products. The website leverages a modern JavaScript and CSS technology stack with integrations from multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user consent management. The technical infrastructure is hosted on Google Cloud, indicating a scalable and reliable hosting environment. However, the website currently lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS availability, which is a critical security concern. Security headers are mostly well implemented, but the disabled X-XSS-Protection header and malformed DNS CAA records indicate areas for improvement. Privacy and cookie policies are not detected in the provided content, representing a compliance gap with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the website is functional and professionally designed but requires urgent security and compliance enhancements to protect user data and build trust.

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. 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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 dm Slovensko online shop is positioned as a large retail player in the Slovak market, leveraging the established dm brand known across Europe. Its business model focuses on e-commerce retail of drugstore products, supported by advanced product search, recommendations, and store availability features. The company integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and conversion. The domain registration and DNS infrastructure align well with the dm brand, supporting legitimacy and trust. However, the absence of visible contact information and privacy policies on the main page may impact customer confidence. The company appears to have a mature partnership ecosystem with related dm domains and service providers. Strategic focus on improving security posture and compliance will enhance market competitiveness and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with a strong Content Security Policy and other security headers like Strict Transport Security and Referrer Policy. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols critically undermine secure communications, exposing users to potential interception and data breaches. The disabled X-XSS-Protection header and malformed CAA DNS records further weaken the security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, indicating limited transparency in security operations. The SPF record is strict, which is positive for email security. Overall, the security posture requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues, enabling modern protocols, and publishing clear privacy and security policies to meet compliance and protect users.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data in transit.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable deprecated protocols to strengthen encryption.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Enable and configure security headers such as X-XSS-Protection or rely on CSP to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Correct DNS CAA records to properly restrict certificate authorities and improve domain security.
  6. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts to enhance security transparency.
  7. Add clear contact information including emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  8. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  9. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  10. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search engine ranking.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack with extensive use of JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks from the dm design system. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user consent management, including Google Analytics, Datadog, Usercentrics, Bazaarvoice, and Dynamic Yield. Hosting is provided via Google Cloud infrastructure, ensuring scalability. However, performance metrics are not available, and SSL/TLS is not properly configured, which is a critical technical deficiency. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility basics but could improve further. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) for website and search actions. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but security and compliance gaps present operational risks.
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.
