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

Markol Food s.r.o. is a small Czech company specializing in the production and sale of various healthy snack bars including Bio Bars, Protein Bars, RAW Bars, Tiger Bars, and Baked Assortment. Originating from a home-based production in Jevíčko, the company has expanded to export products internationally and offers private label and customized promotional bar manufacturing. The website reflects a professional e-commerce platform powered by Webnode CMS and hosted via AWS Cloudfront CDN, featuring modern technologies and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and headers are lacking. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not directly contradict the business legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-structured, and compliant with privacy regulations.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Business context

Business profile

Markol Food operates in the retail sector focusing on health-conscious consumers and business clients requiring private label or promotional food products. The business model combines manufacturing with e-commerce sales and international exports. The company maintains clear contact channels and business registration information, enhancing credibility. The website's content quality and branding consistency support a positive market position as a niche player in healthy snack bars. The lack of WHOIS data is a potential risk factor but may be due to domain registration nuances. The company leverages partnerships with Czech and foreign brands and offers production capacity beyond its own products, indicating growth potential and diversified revenue streams.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner with advanced settings, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which limits transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and establishing formal vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Monitor WHOIS registration status and ensure domain registration information is accurate and publicly available to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webnode CMS platform and uses AWS Cloudfront CDN for hosting static assets, contributing to moderate performance and good global availability. The tech stack includes JavaScript, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is room for improvement in performance optimization and accessibility compliance. The absence of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to strengthen the overall infrastructure.
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.
