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

FOCUS is a well-established marketing and social research agency operating primarily in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The company offers a broad range of research services including market research, public opinion polling, internal organizational studies, media research, and sector-specific analyses. With over 20 years of experience and international partnerships such as with Gallup, FOCUS positions itself as a trusted provider of high-quality, customized research solutions. The website reflects a professional and business-focused approach, targeting clients from various sectors including government, media, and private enterprises. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and the Foundation CSS framework. It uses HTTPS for secure communications and integrates New Relic for performance monitoring. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and overall security posture. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces transparency and trustworthiness, although the website content and business information appear legitimate. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site is fully accessible. Overall, FOCUS presents a credible and professional online presence with solid business information and technical infrastructure. Enhancements in privacy compliance, security headers, and domain transparency would further strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

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

FOCUS operates in the market and social research sector with a medium-sized business model focused on service delivery. Its competitive advantages include long-standing international partnerships, a broad service portfolio, and a strong regional presence in the Czech and Slovak markets. Revenue streams likely derive from customized research projects for corporate, governmental, and academic clients. The company targets a diverse customer base including advertising agencies, media, public institutions, and private companies. Growth indicators include continuous innovation in research tools and methodologies, as well as active participation in international research projects. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving academic institutions and professional associations, enhancing credibility and market reach.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating limited transparency in security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a dedicated GDPR page, but the absence of cookie consent banners and detailed privacy controls suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with recommendations to enhance header policies and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner and mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, Foundation CSS for responsive design, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site loads asynchronously loaded JavaScript and fonts from Google Fonts, contributing to moderate performance. The HTML structure is valid and semantic, supporting good SEO and accessibility basics. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and layout. However, there is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The technical debt appears low, but adding accessibility features and SEO enhancements would benefit the site further.
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.
