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

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

Golden Dog holds a niche position in the horror literature publishing and retail market in the Czech Republic. Their business model centers on direct online sales of books and eBooks, including special packages and signed editions, supported by active social media engagement and event calendars. The company benefits from a focused target audience and consistent branding. Revenue streams likely derive from book sales and special offers. The partnership with STEFKONET for hosting and use of established marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital presence. No suspicious or fraudulent patterns are detected, and the company maintains clear contact channels and legal documentation, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and hCaptcha is used to protect forms from automated abuse. Tracking and marketing scripts are standard and do not expose sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be enhanced for better security culture. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for its business scale.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance cookie policy visibility and implement a consent mechanism to strengthen privacy compliance.
  4. Document incident response procedures and provide dedicated security contact channels to improve readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize risk from vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and uses hCaptcha for bot protection. Hosting is provided by STEFKONET, a local Czech hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site structure is clear with well-implemented meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by improving security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
