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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

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

Ekowatt holds a strong position in the Czech energy consultancy market, leveraging recognized environmental certifications as trust signals. Its business model focuses on providing expert advisory services to improve energy efficiency and environmental impact for clients. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding. The partnership with leed.cz suggests collaboration with certification bodies. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting contracts and certification services. The website content and navigation clearly target professional clients, indicating a B2B focus. Growth potential exists in expanding digital presence and enhancing security and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting compliance with GDPR and basic security best practices. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) or explicit incident response policies were found, which could improve resilience against attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage reduces risk of spam but may impact user trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a consultancy website but with room for improvement in formal security policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding verified company contact emails and phone numbers with clear context to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata for broader reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by jQuery and Google Fonts. The presence of the Complianz GDPR plugin indicates attention to privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be with Active24, a known Czech provider. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking or errors. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility is basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and lack of advanced security headers. Modernization opportunities include adopting security best practices and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
