75/100

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

Novesta is a Czech-based footwear company specializing in high-quality shoes made from natural materials. The company positions itself as a leading global brand in the footwear retail sector, offering a wide range of products including various shoe lines, accessories, and gift vouchers. Their e-commerce platform is powered by nopCommerce, supporting multiple languages and regional stores, indicating a mature digital presence. The website is well-designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, providing a positive user experience. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and has cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the professional presentation and social media presence support business credibility. Overall, Novesta demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with room for improvement in security transparency and contact information availability.

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

2 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Novesta operates in the retail footwear sector with a focus on natural materials, targeting consumers who value quality and sustainability. Their business model centers on direct e-commerce sales supported by regional store variants, suggesting a global market reach. The company leverages partnerships with domains like gonovesta.com for regional operations. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a comprehensive product catalog. The presence of certifications and privacy policies reflects compliance awareness. However, the lack of explicit contact details and WHOIS transparency may impact customer trust and regulatory scrutiny. Growth opportunities include enhancing security posture and expanding direct customer engagement channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent banners, indicating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts. GDPR compliance appears addressed through privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve trust and customer support.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability to improve domain legitimacy and trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the nopCommerce platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Font Awesome for icons, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site supports multiple languages and regional stores, indicating a scalable and flexible infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted fonts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. The technical stack is standard for e-commerce but lacks advanced security configurations. There is an opportunity to modernize security practices and improve SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
