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

9 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

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Kofola operates in the retail and manufacturing sectors, focusing on beverage production and distribution. Their business model includes product manufacturing, marketing, and community engagement through events and social media. The company targets a broad consumer base in Slovakia and neighboring regions, leveraging cultural ties and lifestyle branding to maintain market position. The presence of EU co-financed projects indicates active participation in regional development initiatives. Their digital ecosystem includes multiple related domains for investor relations and Czech market operations, suggesting a structured corporate environment. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a diversified marketing approach, including social media and digital advertising.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF protection, and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts to minimize performance impact. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and no outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of publicly accessible privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap, especially under GDPR and related regulations. The use of multiple tracking and advertising technologies indicates extensive user data collection, which should be transparently managed. Security headers beyond basic HTTPS are not evident, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage and footer.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy documents to improve legal and compliance posture.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to enhance trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads resources asynchronously to improve performance and includes a cookie consent mechanism via cookie-script.com. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by proper meta descriptions, keywords, and Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization by reducing third-party script load. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional user experience with room for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
