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

ThePay, a.s. operates a professional payment gateway service primarily targeting e-commerce merchants in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The company offers a variety of modern payment methods including card payments, PSD2-compliant payments, QR codes, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, supporting multiple currencies and recurring payments. The website demonstrates a mature market position with over 3,000 clients and a clear focus on ease of use and modern payment trends. Technically, the site employs standard industry tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics, and it uses HTTPS with a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, which is a gap in compliance and transparency. Security posture is generally strong with PCI DSS certification indicated, but security headers are not evident in the provided data. Overall, the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and trustworthy, with clear contact information and social media presence. WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy restrictions, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the business profile.

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

      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

      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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

ThePay is positioned as a key player in the payment gateway sector within the Czech and Slovak e-commerce markets. Its business model revolves around providing flexible, multi-method payment processing solutions with automated tariff adjustments based on turnover. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a partner program, indicating a strategic ecosystem approach. The presence of job listings and a demo environment suggests ongoing growth and development. Revenue streams likely include transaction fees and subscription tariffs. The target customers are online merchants seeking modern payment solutions. The company maintains active social media channels and displays client logos to build trust. The lack of visible privacy and security policies is a minor compliance risk but does not detract from the overall professional business operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting awareness of privacy and security best practices. The presence of PCI DSS certification logos indicates compliance with payment security standards. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts, which increases the attack surface and requires careful management of user data and consent. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage or footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Review and optimize third-party tracking scripts to minimize privacy risks and improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Leady.cz for marketing and analytics. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes a cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The site integrates multiple external domains for analytics and marketing, which should be managed carefully for privacy compliance.
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.
