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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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

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 company positions itself as a specialist retailer in the Czech market for writing and art supplies, targeting general consumers interested in quality branded products. Its competitive advantage lies in its deep expertise, physical store presence, and comprehensive product range. The business model is primarily direct online sales supported by customer service and physical retail. Marketing efforts include Google Ads and Facebook retargeting. The absence of detailed WHOIS data limits domain age verification, but the business claims a 20-year history consistent with a medium-sized retail operation. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and standard security practices such as CSRF tokens in forms and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the presence of an outdated jQuery library version 1.11.3 is a notable risk, as this version has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs were found, which suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers were not explicitly detected in the HTML content, and no security.txt or similar files were found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by updating dependencies and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shoptet e-commerce platform, utilizing jQuery 1.11.3, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some images and scripts loaded asynchronously or lazily. Accessibility features are basic but present. The lack of explicit hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure analysis. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional retail experience but would benefit from modernization of JavaScript libraries 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.
