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

StoInspires.sk is a professional website operated by Sto SE & Co. KGaA, focusing on architectural inspiration and facade materials. The site showcases various projects and product lines such as StoSignature and StoColor System, targeting architects, builders, and designers primarily in Slovakia and surrounding regions. The platform supports brand awareness and product promotion through rich content and visual showcases. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with Bootstrap and jQuery, integrating modern libraries for UI and analytics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some best practices, but lacks comprehensive security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but missing privacy and terms pages. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though improvements in compliance and security documentation are recommended.

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

8 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

  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"

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 website positions Sto as a leading provider of facade materials and architectural solutions, leveraging content marketing to engage professionals in the construction and design sectors. The business model appears to be product promotion and brand positioning rather than direct e-commerce. The site integrates with major analytics and marketing platforms, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The absence of direct contact details on the main site suggests a focus on indirect lead generation or channel partner sales. The company benefits from a strong brand and consistent messaging, with a clear target audience of architects and construction professionals.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA scripts, indicating attention to secure user interactions. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, updating libraries, and publishing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Regularly update JavaScript libraries such as jQuery to latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct audits to improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with Bootstrap 3 and jQuery 1.10, supplemented by libraries like Slick Carousel, Masonry, and Colorbox for UI enhancements. Google Maps API and social media SDKs are integrated for extended functionality. The site loads multiple external scripts and stylesheets from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by upgrading to newer frameworks and optimizing assets. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt is present due to older CMS and jQuery versions, suggesting modernization opportunities.
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.
