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

Elist s.r.o. operates the website elist.sk, a Slovak book publishing and e-commerce platform focused on supporting Slovak authors by offering printed and electronic books. The company positions itself as a niche publisher with a strong local presence, leveraging an online store, author showcases, and customer engagement through newsletters and social media. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting Slovak readers interested in literature. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern plugins for SEO, analytics, and user interaction. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA integration, but lacks some HTTP security headers, which could be improved. Privacy and cookie policies exist but are basic and could be enhanced for better GDPR compliance. Overall, the site is trustworthy and legitimate, with consistent WHOIS data supporting the business claims.

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

8 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

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 business operates in the e-commerce and media sectors, focusing on book publishing and sales. It targets Slovak-speaking customers and authors, offering a variety of book categories and formats. The business model combines publishing with direct online sales, supported by marketing tools like Mailchimp and Google Analytics. Trust signals include verified seller badges and customer testimonials. The company is small-sized, founded in 2016, and maintains active social media channels. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The website's content and structure support a professional and customer-focused approach, with opportunities to enhance privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The login and checkout forms use secure POST methods. Incident response and security policies are not explicitly published, which is a gap in compliance and readiness. Recommendations include implementing security headers, regular plugin updates, and publishing clear security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enhance privacy and cookie policies to be fully GDPR compliant, including detailed data retention and user rights information.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update WordPress core and plugins promptly to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and WPBakery for page building. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Mailchimp. The site loads moderate CSS and JS assets, with deferred loading for performance. Mobile optimization is good, and navigation is clear. However, the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, and no advanced CDN or security services like Cloudflare are detected. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is standard for small to medium e-commerce sites, with opportunities to improve security headers and 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.
