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

Gardners operates a professional e-commerce platform specializing in indoor plants, stylish flower pots, substrates, and plant care products primarily targeting the Czech market. The website is well-structured, with clear navigation and a comprehensive product catalog, positioning itself as the largest online shop for indoor plants in the region. The business model focuses on retail sales with additional services such as workshops and educational content. Technically, the site leverages the Shoptet e-commerce platform, integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and Microsoft Clarity, and uses modern web technologies with CDN support for performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, CSRF protection on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and business focus. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good privacy compliance and user experience.

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

    • 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

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

Gardners holds a strong market position as a leading Czech e-commerce retailer for indoor plants and related gardening products. Its competitive advantage lies in a broad product range, educational content, and a loyalty program. The business targets general consumers interested in home and office greenery, including niche segments like pet-friendly plants and sustainable gardening. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales, with potential upselling via accessories and workshops. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple third-party service providers for analytics, marketing, and CDN delivery. Growth indicators include active marketing integrations and seasonal product campaigns. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance trust via transparent security and incident response disclosures and to expand contact information visibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, CSRF tokens on login forms, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response plan indicates a gap in formal security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but further improvements could include explicit data retention disclosures and security certifications. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce retailer but could benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly disclose a formal security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Confirm and enforce security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party analytics and marketing scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  4. Expand visible contact information including phone numbers and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shoptet e-commerce platform, utilizing a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and React components for dynamic features. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, Microsoft Clarity, and Saimon AI for search enhancement. Content delivery is optimized via Cloudfront CDN and other third-party CDNs. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features.

Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and scalable 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.
