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

5 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025

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

SW.CZ operates in the technology retail sector, focusing on software sales through an e-commerce platform. Its business model revolves around digital product distribution, leveraging electronic licenses for quick delivery. The company serves a diverse customer base including individuals, businesses, schools, and government institutions. Strategic partnerships with software vendors like JetBrains, ESET, Corel, and Ashampoo enhance its market credibility. The presence of bulk licensing options indicates a B2B revenue stream alongside B2C sales. The company maintains a consistent brand image and offers customer support channels, contributing to customer trust and retention. Growth indicators include active marketing and promotional campaigns visible on the website. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data suggests privacy protection or domain registration issues, which should be monitored.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Forms are protected with Google reCAPTCHA v3, mitigating automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Mailocator, and Smartsupp Chat for marketing and customer support. It employs lazy loading for images and responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The website uses multiple external domains for analytics and marketing, which should be monitored for privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
