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

11 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 market position as the largest Merrell retailer in the Czech Republic during 2012-2015, leveraging brand authorization and a loyalty program to retain customers. Its business model is focused on direct online sales complemented by a physical showroom and customer service hotline. The partnership with ZebraStores.cz provides operational scale and shared infrastructure. The product range and pricing strategies indicate a competitive approach targeting outdoor enthusiasts and casual buyers. Marketing and tracking tools are used moderately to support sales and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure login forms with client-side validation, indicating a good baseline security posture. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance details and cookie consent banners.
  2. Add security headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with a custom CMS likely provided by ZebraStores.cz. It uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQuery UI, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Zopim Live Chat. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from modernization and enhanced 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.
