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

Merkuria Artes a.s. is a well-established Czech company specializing in the sale and servicing of cleaning, lifting, garden, and sanitary equipment. Operating since 1991, it serves both retail and business customers through a physical store and multiple e-commerce partner sites. The company emphasizes quality and professional service, partnering with reputable brands and offering warranty and post-warranty support. Technically, the website uses a MYOB CMS with common JavaScript libraries and Google services for analytics and maps. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and obfuscated emails, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts domain trust assessment. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and business-focused with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

The company holds a strong local market position with a diversified product portfolio across multiple technical sectors including sanitary, garden, cleaning, and lifting equipment. Its business model combines physical retail with online sales via partner e-shops, enhancing market reach. The presence of named contacts and detailed service offerings indicates a customer-centric approach. The company’s partnerships with well-known brands and multiple e-commerce domains suggest a robust partnership ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance and security to meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and email obfuscation to reduce spam. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit privacy disclosures beyond a basic GDPR PDF indicates partial compliance. Incident response and security policy information are not published, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small retail business but could be improved to reduce risk and enhance customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Obtain and publish domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the MYOB CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Fonts and Google Maps API enhance visual appeal and functionality. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for user tracking and marketing insights. The site is mobile responsive with basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the absence of advanced SEO meta tags and structured data limits search engine optimization potential. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and security configurations.
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.
