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

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

      No Cookie Policy found

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

EMKA operates as a key retail brand in Slovenia under the parent company Mladinska knjiga, focusing on books and office supplies. Its competitive advantage lies in its established market presence since 2001 and integration with a robust e-commerce platform. The business model centers on direct-to-consumer online sales, supported by a comprehensive product range and marketing ecosystem. Target customers include students, educators, and office professionals. The company leverages partnerships with Shopify and various marketing service providers to optimize customer engagement and sales conversion. Growth indicators include active social media presence and use of advanced analytics tools. The ecosystem includes related domains and services under the Mladinska knjiga brand umbrella.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong SSL configuration, and standard security headers provided by Shopify. The presence of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner with granular controls indicates good privacy practices. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts and marketing pixels introduces a moderate risk surface, but no known vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for e-commerce operations but should consider publishing formal security documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contacts such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and various marketing and analytics integrations. Hosting is provided by Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable performance and global availability. The site includes comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and the design is professional and consistent. The technical implementation follows best practices for e-commerce but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning. The integration of multiple third-party marketing tools increases complexity and requires ongoing security monitoring.
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.
