Risk levelHigh

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

Podkovan s.r.o. is a traditional Czech brewery with a rich heritage dating back to 1434, specializing in producing high-quality Czech beer using traditional methods and natural spring water. The company positions itself as a medium-sized brewery focused on authenticity and quality, targeting beer consumers who appreciate traditional Czech lagers and dark beers. The website reflects a well-maintained digital presence built on WordPress with SEO optimization and multilingual support. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract significantly from the business credibility given the detailed company information and contact data provided. Overall, the website is professional, informative, and trustworthy, though improvements in privacy compliance and security headers are recommended.

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

9 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

  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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  4. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Podkovan operates in the traditional brewing sector with a focus on Czech beer heritage, leveraging a unique natural water source and traditional brewing techniques. Its market position is that of a respected regional brewery with a medium production scale. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing beer in various packaging formats to meet market demands. The company demonstrates commitment to quality through experienced master brewers and investment in modern packaging technology. The website supports multilingual access, indicating an interest in broader markets. Contact information and company registration details are transparent, supporting business credibility. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates incomplete compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. The use of WordPress and third-party plugins necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks from vulnerable components. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with better policy disclosures and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Create a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding incident response contact information and data protection officer details to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.9 using the Flatsome theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. It uses jQuery 3.6.1 and WPML for multilingual support. The site loads resources from trusted CDNs like jsdelivr and gravatar. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and prefetching scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive image sizes. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. No hosting provider information is directly available from the HTML content. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and missing security headers.
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.
