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

PPF Group is a well-established international investment group founded in 1991 in the Czech Republic, operating in 25 countries across Europe, North America, and Asia. The company has a diversified portfolio spanning telecommunications, media, financial services, e-commerce, real estate, biotechnology, mobility, and intelligent transportation solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content targeted at investors, partners, media, and the public. Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA Enterprise for analytics and security, and uses DatoCMS for content management. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, multiple security headers, secure forms with CAPTCHA, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, GDPR compliance indicators, and contact information. However, explicit security incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found. Overall, the site presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and technical robustness. Recommendations include enhancing transparency on incident response, publishing a security.txt file, and continuing regular security audits to maintain and improve the security posture.

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

5 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

PPF Group holds a significant market position as a large enterprise investment group with a broad sectoral footprint. Its business model focuses on managing a diversified portfolio of companies across multiple industries, enabling risk distribution and growth opportunities. The group’s subsidiaries include major players in telecommunications (e.g., O2 Czech Republic), media (e.g., CME), financial services (e.g., Home Credit, Air Bank), and biotechnology (e.g., Sotio Biotech). The company targets institutional investors, business partners, and markets in Europe, North America, and Asia. The presence of detailed press releases, insights, and reports indicates active communication and transparency, supporting investor relations and market confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options. The use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise protects forms from automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for corporate websites.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and publicize a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention and privacy policy details to align with evolving compliance requirements.
  5. Continue investment in security awareness and culture to maintain strong security posture.

It uses Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for analytics and security. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility. SEO best practices are implemented with comprehensive meta tags and structured data. No technical debt or legacy technology indicators were found.

The technical implementation supports a robust and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise investment group.
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.
