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

ThePay, a.s. operates a professional payment gateway platform targeting e-commerce merchants primarily 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 reflects a mature business with over 3,000 clients and emphasizes ease of use with automated tariffs and fast implementation. Technically, the site uses modern tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Leady.cz, and is served over HTTPS with cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as missing security headers, indicates room for improvement in privacy compliance and security posture. Overall, the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and trustworthy with PCI DSS certification displayed, but could benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices.

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

6 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

      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 holds a solid position in the payment gateway market within the Czech and Slovak e-commerce sectors. Its business model revolves around providing payment processing services with tiered tariffs based on turnover, appealing to small and medium-sized merchants. The company leverages partnerships and maintains multiple related domains for administration and legacy services. The presence of a partnerský program (affiliate program) suggests an active ecosystem for growth. The company’s focus on modern payment methods and multi-currency support aligns with current market trends, positioning it competitively. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is consistent with privacy norms in the EU and does not detract from its market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent with granular user options, reflecting a baseline compliance with privacy regulations. The presence of PCI DSS certification indicates adherence to payment security standards. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses multiple third-party tracking scripts, which may raise privacy concerns if not properly managed. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting additional security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing GDPR compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all users.
  5. Review and document data retention policies and ensure third-party tracking scripts comply with GDPR and user consent.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Leady.cz for analytics and marketing. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible errors or broken elements, indicating good technical implementation. The site is mobile-optimized and has clear navigation and structure. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization in security and 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.
