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

Netstep is a small Czech digital marketing agency specializing in online promotion and sales support for e-commerce businesses. The company is operated by a female duo offering services including PPC campaigns, SEO strategies, social media management, and customized portfolios. They emphasize reliable communication, budget-conscious solutions, and continuous professional development. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and includes clear contact information and social media links. However, the absence of privacy and terms of service pages and the use of an outdated jQuery version represent compliance and security gaps. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain legitimacy verification. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics with a cookie consent mechanism, indicating some privacy awareness.

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

10 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. 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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention netstep.cz, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for netstep.cz right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Netstep positions itself as a specialized, small-scale digital marketing agency focused on e-commerce clients in the Czech Republic. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized service, Google Partner certification, and a comprehensive offering of PPC, SEO, and social media services. The business model is service-based with a focus on client collaboration and campaign optimization. The company maintains active social media profiles and client references, supporting credibility. Growth potential exists through enhanced compliance and technical modernization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage implied but not confirmed in the data. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements, but the lack of privacy policy and terms of service pages is a compliance shortfall. No security headers were detected, and the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided. Overall, security practices are basic and could be significantly improved to reduce risk and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Verify and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure communications.
  5. Add a security.txt file and clearly publish incident response contact details to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress and uses jQuery 1.9.1, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics for tracking. The design is professional and mobile-optimized with clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. The site lacks modern security headers and uses an outdated JavaScript library, which poses a security risk. No forms are present on the main page, limiting data collection points. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and improved security 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.
