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

7 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

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

QCM holds a strong market position in the Czech Republic as a specialized provider of public procurement IT solutions. Their business model focuses on software products and complementary services such as training and legal consulting. The company targets public sector entities and private organizations involved in procurement processes. Their long-standing presence and extensive client base (over 15,000 clients) demonstrate growth and market acceptance. Partnerships with related domains like manazer-vz.cz and ezak.cz expand their ecosystem. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics effectively to maintain engagement and lead generation. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy represent areas for improvement. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with GDPR compliance and a clear privacy policy. Overall, the security risk is low but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy notices related to analytics and tracking to further align with GDPR best practices.

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform by PUXdesign, utilizing modern web standards including responsive design and optimized images. It integrates Google Fonts for typography and employs Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features. Form submissions are protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies to reduce risk and improve compliance posture.
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.
