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

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

Upgates operates as a SaaS provider in the e-commerce sector, offering a scalable platform that supports multi-store and multi-domain management, catering to both B2C and B2B customers. Its competitive advantages include a modular design system (Designer), extensive integrations with payment gateways like Comgate, and logistics providers including DHL, DPD, and Packeta. The company leverages partnerships with product comparison portals such as Heureka and Zbozi.cz to enhance marketing reach. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for e-shop rentals, add-on modules, and premium services. The target customer segment is small to medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs seeking customizable and easy-to-manage online stores. Growth indicators include active social media engagement, a marketplace for extensions, and educational resources like webinars and an academy. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving payment processors, logistics, and marketing platforms, supporting a comprehensive e-commerce solution.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS, modern security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent management aligns with GDPR, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits transparency for security incidents. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The platform's security practices support business continuity and customer trust, but publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response procedures would enhance readiness and compliance with emerging regulations like NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security measures and best practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom e-commerce CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing tracking. The site loads efficiently with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading, contributing to fast performance. Mobile optimization is excellent, ensuring usability across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA landmarks and keyboard navigation improvements. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the presence of Google and Facebook services indicates integration with major cloud and marketing platforms. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible deprecated technologies or broken elements.
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.
