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

KOVOHUTY SK, s.r.o. is a Slovak subsidiary company specializing in the purchase, processing, and recycling of waste containing precious metals. The company leverages its strategic location and logistics to connect with its parent company Kovohutě Příbram nástupnická, a. s., providing services including waste collection, refining, and sale of related products such as ammunition and metal sheets. The website presents a professional business image with clear contact information and a focus on environmental and manufacturing sectors. Technically, the website uses a combination of established technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap 3.2, and Google Analytics, managed via a custom CMS developed by JAVI solutions s. r. o. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with good content quality and navigation. However, some technical modernization and enhanced accessibility could improve user experience. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and lacks visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, indicating room for improvement in security transparency. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security best practices, and technical updates to 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

13 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates in the manufacturing and recycling sector, focusing on precious metal waste processing. Its business model is B2B, targeting partners and businesses involved in metal recycling and waste management. The company benefits from its relationship with a parent company, providing logistical and operational advantages. Revenue streams likely include waste purchase, processing fees, and product sales. The website indicates a small-sized enterprise with a consistent brand and clear market positioning. The partnership with JAVI solutions s. r. o. for CMS and hosting suggests a stable technical ecosystem. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding recycling services and enhancing digital presence.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no critical vulnerabilities or exposed data were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. Lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, posing legal and reputational risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, limiting the company's ability to manage security incidents effectively. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Upgrade technical stack components to more current versions to reduce security risks and improve performance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform provided by JAVI solutions s. r. o., utilizing Bootstrap 3.2 and jQuery libraries, which are somewhat dated but stable. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph integration. However, the absence of modern security headers and lack of privacy and cookie policies indicate technical debt in compliance and security. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack, improve accessibility, and implement security best practices to reduce risks and enhance user trust.
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.
