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

MAKRO Cash & Carry ČR s.r.o. operates a comprehensive wholesale business specializing in food and related goods, targeting gastronomy and retail sectors in the Czech Republic. The website reflects a mature business with a broad product offering, digital services, and educational programs, supported by a strong parent company, Metro AG. Technically, the site employs modern web standards with responsive design and optimized media assets, ensuring good user experience across devices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are absent. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable transparency gap, slightly impacting trust. Overall, the site is professional, user-friendly, and business credible, with room for security and compliance enhancements.

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

    • 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

  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 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

MAKRO holds a strong market position as a large wholesale retailer in the Czech Republic, serving professional customers in gastronomy and retail. Its business model combines product sales with value-added services like distribution and digital tools. The company leverages its parent Metro AG's brand and resources, enhancing credibility and reach. Partnerships with initiatives like České pole and dedicated career portals indicate a well-integrated ecosystem. The website content and structure support customer engagement and business growth, reflecting a stable and established operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent banner that supports GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is positive but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to improve domain trustworthiness and transparency.
  5. Continue monitoring and optimizing website performance and accessibility to maintain high user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with responsive design and optimized WebP images, ensuring good performance and mobile compatibility. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. External resources are loaded from a dedicated CDN (cdn.metro-online.com), indicating a scalable hosting infrastructure. SEO is supported by canonical tags and Open Graph metadata. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or performance bottlenecks were identified in the provided content.
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.
