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

SZM.com s.r.o. is a small Slovak technology company providing free and paid web hosting and email services primarily targeting individual users and small businesses. The website offers free email and web hosting under the szm.com and szm.sk domains, with options for premium upgrades. The company has a longstanding presence since 1999, reflected in the domain age and consistent WHOIS data. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies with multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts, including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Google Adsense. The site is accessible over HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating limited compliance with modern privacy regulations. Contact information is minimal, limited to a single email address.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

SZM.com operates in the technology sector with a freemium business model offering free hosting services supplemented by paid premium packages. Its market position is that of a niche regional provider with a loyal user base in Slovakia. The company leverages its long domain history as a trust signal. Revenue streams likely include paid hosting upgrades and virtual server offerings. The target audience includes individuals and small users seeking free or affordable hosting solutions. The company ecosystem includes domain registration and virtual server services, but no evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The website content and branding are moderately consistent but could be improved for professionalism and clarity.

Security posture

The security posture of SZM.com is moderate. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status but lacks DNSSEC. The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory, but no advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS are detected. There is no published security or incident response policy, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. The site uses antivirus and antispam filtering for mail services, which is a positive security practice. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and limited contact information for security incidents indicate gaps in compliance and incident readiness. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is basic and should be improved to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using classic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with integration of multiple third-party analytics and advertising services. The domain is registered with a reputable registrar and has a long history, indicating stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no explicit responsive design or accessibility features detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. The site lacks a modern CMS or framework indications, suggesting a legacy or custom-built platform. Technical debt is implied by the absence of modern security headers and privacy compliance features. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations.
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.
