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

EKOL s.r.o. is a Czech manufacturing company specializing in the design, production, and supply of equipment for surface treatment processes including powder coating, galvanizing, and water treatment. Established since 1992, the company serves a broad international market including Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Their offerings include comprehensive project delivery from technology specification to installation, training, and after-sales service. The website reflects a professional industrial business with clear contact information and multilingual support. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate framework, integrated with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, some security headers are missing, and WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections in forms, but additional security headers and incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a detailed privacy policy and cookie consent. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved domain transparency and enhanced security practices. The risk assessment indicates no critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms, but the lack of WHOIS data and security policy pages suggests areas for improvement in trust and compliance documentation.

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.

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

EKOL s.r.o. holds a solid position in the manufacturing sector focused on surface treatment technologies. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience and comprehensive service model covering technology design, delivery, and maintenance. The business model is B2B, targeting industrial clients requiring specialized equipment for powder coating, galvanizing, and water treatment. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, installation services, and ongoing maintenance contracts. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem, including digital marketing support from PPC-SEO providers. Growth indicators include recent project references and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing digital trust signals and expanding incident response capabilities to strengthen market confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented in forms, reducing risk of common web attacks. Cookie consent and privacy policy indicate awareness of data protection regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options limits protection against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and cross-site scripting. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness and may pose risks if domain ownership is unclear. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate informational site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure essential HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to enhance domain registration transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate known vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with the Helix Ultimate template framework, leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for analytics and marketing tracking, alongside Leady tracking scripts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive layouts and cookie consent management. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS cache files loaded. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. However, the absence of certain security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from security and transparency improvements.
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.
