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

Hermes LabSystems, s. r. o. is a Slovak-based supplier specializing in advanced laboratory solutions across analytical chemistry, molecular biology, diagnostics, and related fields. The company partners with leading global manufacturers to provide instruments, consumables, and services including metrology and accredited calibration. Their website reflects a professional B2B model targeting laboratories and research institutions, with a clear focus on quality and comprehensive product offerings. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, there is a lack of privacy and cookie policies, and no visible security headers, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security posture. The site is fully accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, and contact information is clearly presented. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business presence with trustworthy certifications but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

7 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

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

The company holds a strong position in the Slovak laboratory supply market, leveraging partnerships with reputable manufacturers like Agilent and Milestone. Their business model focuses on supplying a wide range of laboratory instruments and consumables, supported by services such as training and metrology. The website content and certifications indicate a commitment to quality and compliance. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests a potential compliance gap with GDPR. The company targets scientific and diagnostic laboratories, offering specialized solutions that cater to both research and industrial needs. Their product catalog is extensive, with over 150,000 items, indicating a broad market reach. The partnership ecosystem is well represented through linked partner domains, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contact information, indicates gaps in compliance and security readiness. No forms were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate risk from input-based attacks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing privacy-related documents, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information including security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery 3.6.0. The design is responsive and adapts well to mobile devices. Navigation is clear with a structured menu and accessible links. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site lacks advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries beyond jQuery. SEO optimization is basic, with meta description present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Accessibility is basic, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
