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

Sothys.cz represents a luxury French professional cosmetics brand operating primarily in the Czech Republic, targeting beauty salons, wellness, and spa centers. The company, identified as ELEGANCE s.r.o., offers high-end cosmetic products and professional treatments, positioning itself as a premium player in the beauty retail sector. The website reflects a well-structured digital presence with clear branding and a focus on professional clientele. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers are missing and privacy policy documentation is not clearly found, suggesting room for compliance improvement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with basic privacy standards, but could enhance transparency by publishing detailed privacy and security policies. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, publishing privacy and incident response information, and enhancing contact availability to strengthen trust 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.

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 business operates in the retail sector, focusing on luxury cosmetics distributed through salons and spas. Its business model combines product sales with professional services and training (academy). The presence of partner domains such as academy.sothys.cz and eshop.sothys.cz indicates a diversified ecosystem supporting education and e-commerce. The company targets professional beauty service providers and end consumers seeking premium cosmetic experiences. Market positioning is strong within the luxury segment, leveraging French cosmetic heritage. The website content and structure support brand consistency and customer engagement, though direct contact details are limited. Growth potential lies in expanding digital sales and professional training offerings. Partnerships with major analytics and marketing platforms suggest active digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot, covering GDPR cookie compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site lacks explicit incident response contacts or security policy documentation, which are important for comprehensive security governance. The use of third-party scripts (Google Analytics, Seznam.cz tracking) introduces typical privacy and security considerations but appears managed through consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header security, publish security policies, and provide incident response contacts to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer details.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing terms of service and cookie policy documents.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with GDPR cookie regulations. The site uses modern HTML5 video and responsive images for performance and mobile optimization. The presence of Livewire styles suggests some reactive or dynamic UI components. Performance is moderate with preloading and prefetching techniques employed. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, supporting usability. No hosting provider information was detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy documentation.
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.
