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

P.V.A. systems s.r.o. is a Czech software company specializing in retail and warehouse management systems, notably the B.O.S.S. Enterprise system, which is widely deployed across retail chains in the Czech Republic. The company offers a comprehensive suite of products including automated 24/7 stores, self-checkout solutions, electronic shelf labels, and business intelligence tools. Their market position is strong, with over 11,000 POS terminals in operation and a client base that includes major retail groups and municipalities. The company emphasizes innovation, stability, and customer support with a 7-day hotline service. Technically, the website employs a Java-based backend with front-end technologies including jQuery, jQuery UI, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and reCAPTCHA integration for forms, though there is room for improvement in security headers and updating legacy JavaScript libraries. The security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts is a gap. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces transparency and trust but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the detailed business information and client references. Overall, the website and company present a professional and trustworthy front with good technical and security practices. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, updating JavaScript libraries, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen their digital maturity and compliance.

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

11 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. 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
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

P.V.A. systems operates in the retail technology sector, focusing on software solutions for retail chains, wholesalers, and automated stores. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive product suite that integrates POS, warehouse management, self-checkout, and business intelligence into a unified system. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, hardware sales, support contracts, and cloud services. The target customers are retail businesses, franchise networks, and municipalities seeking innovative retail automation. Growth indicators include recent launches of automated container stores and participation in industry events. The partnership ecosystem includes major retail groups like COOP and CBA, as well as technology partners and service providers. The company has a stable market position in the Czech Republic with potential for expansion. Operationally, they emphasize in-house development, customer support, and compliance with legal standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate GDPR awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) may introduce vulnerabilities if not patched. No security policy or incident response contact information is published, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional headers, updating libraries, and publishing security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Introduce a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a Java backend and front-end technologies including jQuery 1.7.1, jQuery UI, and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and includes cookie consent scripts for GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries poses a security risk and potential technical debt. No common CMS like WordPress or Joomla is detected, indicating a bespoke solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
