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

Hithit s.r.o. operates a Czech crowdfunding platform that connects creative individuals such as artists, designers, developers, and sportspeople with their supporters. The platform facilitates reward-based crowdfunding campaigns, enabling project creators to raise funds and offer exclusive rewards to backers. Established since 2012, Hithit holds a solid position in the Czech market with a medium-sized business footprint and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and Twitter widgets. Hosting is supported by Amazon CloudFront CDN, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site implements cookie consent mechanisms and uses HTTPS, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. From a security perspective, the platform enforces HTTPS and cookie consent but does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS registration data reduces trust slightly, but the overall business credibility remains high based on website content and contact transparency. Overall, Hithit presents a professional and trustworthy crowdfunding service with room for improvement in security policy transparency and WHOIS data availability. Strategic enhancements in security headers and incident response disclosures would strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Business profile

Hithit operates in the niche crowdfunding sector within the Czech Republic, targeting creative professionals and their audiences. Its business model is based on facilitating project funding through reward-based campaigns, generating revenue likely via platform fees or commissions. The company benefits from a decade-plus market presence, social media engagement, and a portfolio of active projects. Competitive advantages include localized language support, a clear user interface, and integration with popular social platforms. Growth indicators include ongoing project launches and a dedicated blog. Partnerships with social media and marketing platforms enhance outreach. The company appears focused on maintaining a trusted community and expanding its user base through quality content and project success stories.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. Data protection practices appear adequate with no exposed sensitive information. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations to mitigate common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is complete and publicly accessible to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and comply with evolving data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with integrations of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, Twitter widgets, and Instabot. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, which supports content delivery performance. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. However, no specific CMS or backend framework is identifiable from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking, representing a technical risk that could impact user trust and security compliance.
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.
