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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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
      • 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

The company operates in the niche consulting sector for R&D tax credits, a specialized service that requires deep knowledge of local tax laws in Slovakia and Czechia. Its market positioning as an experienced player with over a decade of service suggests a stable client base and expertise. The business model is service-oriented, relying on advisory and compliance support for clients to benefit from government incentives. The presence on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn supports marketing and client engagement efforts. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on B2B clients, particularly SMEs and possibly larger enterprises engaged in research activities. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functionalities are present, consistent with a consulting service. The company does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies listed, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, which are positive indicators for data protection and privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of reputable plugins and libraries like Yoast SEO and MonsterInsights is standard but requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy or security.txt file including incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by including verified company emails and phone numbers for support and sales.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Astra theme, which is lightweight and optimized for performance. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are integrated via Google Analytics through MonsterInsights. Cookie consent is managed by Cookiebot, indicating GDPR awareness. The site uses jQuery and other standard JavaScript libraries. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Structured data in JSON-LD format is implemented for SEO benefits. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the content. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks beyond WordPress ecosystem. The site could improve by implementing additional accessibility features and optimizing loading speed further.
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.
