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

HiSModel is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on historical sailing ship models and their accessories, targeting hobbyists and collectors primarily in the Czech Republic. The website offers a comprehensive catalog of plastic and wooden ship models, along with modeling supplies and instructional guides, positioning itself as a niche player in the retail sector. The business model is straightforward retail with an emphasis on specialized products and customer support. Technically, the site is built on the Shoptet platform, leveraging common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity for tracking and performance insights. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection on forms, though some security headers could be improved and the jQuery version updated to mitigate risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy, cookie consent banner, and GDPR considerations. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which should be further investigated. Overall, the site is functional, trustworthy, and well-positioned within its niche but would benefit from enhanced security practices and domain registration transparency.

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.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

HiSModel operates in the retail sector, focusing on a niche market of historical ship model enthusiasts. Its competitive advantage lies in a broad and detailed product catalog, including plastic and wooden models, accessories, and modeling tools, supported by instructional content. The business targets hobbyists and collectors, primarily in the Czech Republic, with multilingual support for Czech and English. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales. The company maintains customer trust through clear contact information, privacy policies, and integration with reputable platforms like eBay for customer feedback. The partnership with eBay for ratings suggests an ecosystem that supports customer confidence. Growth indicators include a well-structured website with extensive product categories and active marketing via analytics and retargeting tools. Strategic observations recommend verifying domain registration and enhancing security headers to strengthen market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and forms include CSRF tokens, reducing common web attack vectors. The presence of cookie consent aligns with privacy regulations. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities that should be addressed promptly. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, representing a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but would benefit from updating libraries and enhancing HTTP security headers to improve resilience against advanced threats.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery to the latest stable version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct a thorough domain registration verification to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and enhance trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shoptet e-commerce platform, utilizing jQuery 1.11.3, Google Analytics (both GA4 and Universal Analytics), Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Smartlook for analytics and user behavior tracking. Facebook SDK is integrated for social features. The site uses CDN services for static content delivery, improving load times. The HTML structure is valid with appropriate meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to enhance page speed. The technical stack is modern enough for current e-commerce needs but requires updates to some libraries and security configurations to reduce technical debt and security risks.
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.
