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

EMP-shop.cz is a professional e-commerce platform specializing in rock & metal band merchandise, alternative fashion, and entertainment-related products such as movies, TV series, and gaming merchandise. The site targets fans of these genres primarily in the Czech Republic and broader European markets, operating under the parent company EMP Mail order UK Ltd. The business model focuses on online retail with a broad catalog of over 20,000 items, including exclusive and limited editions, positioning itself as a leading European retailer in its niche. Technically, the website is built on the Salesforce Commerce Cloud platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel and CQuotient for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, but the site’s professional appearance and privacy policies indicate legitimacy. Overall, EMP-shop.cz presents a trustworthy and well-maintained e-commerce platform with a strong market position in its niche. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and trustworthiness further.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

EMP-shop.cz operates in the niche market of rock & metal merchandise and alternative fashion, serving a European audience with localized country-specific domains. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive catalog, exclusive products, and strong brand recognition under EMP Mail order UK Ltd. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement. The presence of multiple country domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem and a scalable operational model. Growth indicators include active promotions, seasonal sales, and app availability. The company maintains consistent branding and privacy compliance, supporting customer trust and retention.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to avoid potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR and regional compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, a robust e-commerce platform, using modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel for UI components and CQuotient for analytics and tracking. The site employs JSON-LD structured data and Open Graph tags for SEO optimization. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility is basic, with some improvements possible.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable and user-friendly e-commerce experience.
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.
