83/100

Risk levelLow

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

Merkury Market operates as a large retail chain specializing in building materials, furniture, and garden supplies primarily in Poland with additional presence in Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. The website is professionally designed with a clear product categorization and multilingual support, targeting consumers interested in home improvement and furnishing. The technical infrastructure leverages modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Trusted Shops, and edrone, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Accessibility features are well implemented, enhancing user experience across devices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place; however, the absence of explicit security headers and privacy policy pages suggests room for improvement. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional, supporting a strong market position in retail e-commerce. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency with privacy and security policies and improving security header implementation to strengthen compliance 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.

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

Merkury Market holds a significant position in the retail sector for home improvement products in Poland and neighboring countries. Its business model combines e-commerce with physical stores, catering to a broad consumer base seeking affordable building, furniture, and garden products. The multilingual websites and country-specific domains reflect a regional expansion strategy. The company benefits from trust signals such as Trusted Shops certification and active marketing tools, supporting customer acquisition and retention. However, the lack of publicly available company contact details and WHOIS transparency may limit direct customer engagement and raise minor trust concerns. The business appears stable and focused on growth through digital channels and product diversification.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms that respect user privacy preferences. The use of Google Tag Manager and other third-party marketing scripts is managed with consent controls. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth effectiveness. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid mitigation of security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. To elevate security maturity, the organization should implement comprehensive security headers, publish privacy and security policies, and provide clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure essential HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern frontend leveraging jQuery and various marketing and analytics integrations including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Trusted Shops, edrone, and Tidio chat. Accessibility is enhanced by a dedicated toolbar for font resizing and contrast adjustments. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and preloading strategies. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site could benefit from improved SEO metadata completeness and enhanced security header implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
