With over 15 years of market presence and more than 4200 customers, it holds a leading position in the Czech and Slovak e-commerce market. The platform supports multistore, multilingual capabilities, integrated payment gateways, and advanced marketing tools, catering to businesses aiming for local and international expansion. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap Icons, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, alongside a proprietary CMS built on the Nette Framework. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, fast loading, and includes comprehensive SEO and accessibility features. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, reCAPTCHA v3 integration, and a detailed cookie consent mechanism. While the website demonstrates strong security practices and privacy compliance, the absence of WHOIS registration data reduces transparency regarding domain ownership and age.

Overall, Upgates presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically sound e-commerce platform with room for improvement in domain registration transparency and advanced security headers.

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

7 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 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';…

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

Upgates operates as a SaaS provider in the e-commerce sector, targeting small to medium-sized businesses seeking customizable online store solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a fully integrated platform with no hidden module costs, supporting multistore and multilingual setups, and providing extensive integrations with marketplaces and marketing tools. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and value-added services such as dropshipping and fulfillment modules. The company maintains active social media engagement and a partner marketplace, indicating a robust ecosystem. Growth indicators include a large customer base and continuous feature updates. The business model emphasizes ease of use, flexibility, and compliance with local legislation, positioning Upgates as a trusted regional leader.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Client-side and server-side form validations are implemented using the Nette Framework. However, the absence of several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement advanced HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance monitoring and bot mitigation strategies beyond reCAPTCHA to protect against sophisticated automated threats.

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.
