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

    • 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
      • OWASP A04:2025

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

ProRate operates in the consulting sector with a focus on mergers and acquisitions, company sales, valuations, and business development. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, regional presence in Slovakia and Czechia, and a broad network of investors and clients. The business model is service-based, generating revenue through advisory and consulting fees. The target customers are company owners and investors seeking professional assistance in transactions and business growth. The company demonstrates growth through a high number of transactions and repeat clients. The partnership ecosystem includes collaborations with certified appraisal agencies and regional offices. The website content and client testimonials reflect a strong reputation and professional credibility in their market niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, indicating gaps in formal security governance. The use of third-party analytics and tag management tools introduces potential privacy concerns, especially without a cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy. The site does not appear to have any known vulnerabilities or malware. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consulting website but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to inform and obtain user consent for tracking technologies.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and security culture.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Swiper.js for sliders, and AOS for scroll animations. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to improve performance. The HTML structure is valid and semantic, supporting good SEO and accessibility practices, though accessibility could be further enhanced. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and touch-friendly navigation. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization by reducing external dependencies and improving caching strategies. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
