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

8 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

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

MARKBAL.SK holds a stable market position in Slovakia as a niche retailer of eco-friendly disposable and packaging products. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 1994 and commitment to environmental responsibility. The business model is direct online sales with product categories covering disposable tableware, packaging, cleaning, hygiene, and natural cosmetics. The target customers include both individual consumers and businesses requiring sustainable packaging solutions. The company leverages partnerships with Shoptet platform and uses multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, comprehensive security headers, and CSRF protection on forms. Privacy compliance is evident with GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies and active consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with user consent. Overall, the security posture is strong for a small retail e-commerce site but could be enhanced with formal security documentation and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shoptet e-commerce platform using jQuery 1.11.3 and integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (UA and GA4), Hotjar, and Facebook SDK for marketing and analytics. Hosting leverages Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and modernizing JavaScript libraries. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but updating legacy libraries and enhancing accessibility would improve overall robustness.
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.
