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

Merkury Market is a large retail company operating primarily in Slovakia, specializing in home improvement, furniture, and garden products. The website serves as a digital storefront offering a wide range of products for construction, renovation, and home decoration. The company maintains a strong regional presence with sister sites in neighboring countries, indicating a well-established market position. The website demonstrates a good level of technical maturity, employing modern JavaScript libraries, marketing and analytics tools, and accessibility features to enhance user experience.

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

The business operates a multi-category retail e-commerce platform targeting general consumers interested in building materials, furniture, and garden supplies. Its business model combines online sales with physical stores, supported by a comprehensive product catalog and marketing efforts. The presence of multiple regional domains suggests a strategy of localized market penetration. The company leverages third-party marketing and analytics platforms to optimize customer engagement and advertising effectiveness. The lack of visible contact details and formal policies on the website may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. Strategic partnerships appear limited to regional sister sites, with no explicit affiliate or payment processor domains identified in the analysis.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, indicating a baseline security maturity. It uses consent mechanisms for cookies and marketing tracking, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a published privacy policy and terms of service reduces transparency and may expose the company to compliance risks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder effective security incident management. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by formalizing policies and improving contactability for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add clear and visible contact information including company email, phone number, and physical address.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing dedicated security contact channels and documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern JavaScript-based frontend. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Bing Ads, Facebook domain verification, and marketing platforms like Edrone and AdHydra. Accessibility is addressed via a dedicated toolbar offering font resizing, contrast adjustments, and other features. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and preloading strategies. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced documentation and transparency regarding security and privacy practices.
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.
