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

6 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, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      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.

    • 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

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

Smarthost's business model focuses on providing a range of hosting services tailored to different customer needs, from beginners to large enterprises. Their competitive advantage lies in local data center hosting in Poland, free migration services, and comprehensive support. The company targets SMEs, e-commerce businesses, and resellers, with clear pricing and service differentiation between smart and smart-pro packages. The presence of multiple regional domains indicates a strategy to expand or serve localized markets. The company leverages partnerships and marketing tools to enhance customer acquisition and retention. Growth indicators include continuous service upgrades and active customer engagement via live chat and Trustpilot integration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, anti-exploit systems, two-factor authentication options, and regular backups. However, the absence of publicly available security policies or incident response plans limits transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve transparency of cookie consent and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.6.1, FontAwesome 5, and several JavaScript libraries for UI and analytics. It uses cPanel for hosting management and operates servers located in Poland. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Trustpilot, Facebook Pixel, and Tawk.to live chat. While the infrastructure appears robust, there is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit documentation of security and privacy practices. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable hosting service platform.
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.
