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

E-Katalog is a well-established Ukrainian online price comparison and product catalog platform operating since 2001. It aggregates product data from over 3000 online stores and offers consumers a comprehensive tool to compare prices, read reviews, and find the best deals across a wide range of product categories including electronics, household appliances, automotive goods, and more. The platform targets consumers primarily in Ukraine but also serves markets in Poland, USA, UK, and Kazakhstan through regional partner sites. Technically, the website uses a custom CMS with modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and rich content. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and some security headers present, but lacks full implementation of best practices such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers. Privacy compliance is basic; a privacy policy exists but lacks explicit GDPR compliance and no cookie consent mechanism is implemented. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are visible on the main page, which may impact user trust. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy compliance and security hardening.

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 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 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

    • 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

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

E-Katalog holds a strong market position as a leading price comparison service in Ukraine with a broad product catalog and extensive partnerships with thousands of online stores. Its business model centers on aggregating product and pricing data to facilitate consumer decision-making and drive traffic to partner stores. The company leverages a multi-country presence through localized partner domains, enhancing its reach and market penetration. Revenue streams likely include affiliate commissions, advertising, and premium subscription services. The platform targets tech-savvy consumers seeking convenience and cost savings. Growth indicators include a large product database, active content updates, and integration of user-generated reviews. The partnership ecosystem includes regional sites in Poland, UK, USA, and Kazakhstan, indicating strategic expansion. Operational since 2001, the company demonstrates stability and maturity in the e-commerce sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of secure form inputs. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web vulnerabilities like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR adherence statements, which may expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and data injection attacks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding visible company contact information including emails and phone numbers on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom content management system utilizing standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery. It integrates third-party services including Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Banstat Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for search engines. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical infrastructure appears stable but could benefit from modernization in security headers and enhanced privacy controls to reduce technical debt and regulatory 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.
