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

Železiarne Podbrezová a.s. is a well-established manufacturer and seller of seamless steel pipes with a strong presence in Europe and globally. The company leverages advanced manufacturing technologies and a skilled workforce to maintain its market leadership. Their website reflects a corporate and industrial focus, targeting business clients and potential employees. The company operates multiple subsidiaries under the ŽP GROUP umbrella, indicating a large and diversified business structure. Technically, the website is built on legacy Lotus Domino infrastructure with older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.3.2, which suggests some technical debt and modernization opportunities. The site includes modern tracking and consent management tools like Cookiebot and Google Tag Manager, indicating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. However, mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO practices are moderate. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds, but lacks explicit security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which could pose risks. No public security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Privacy and cookie policies are present and appear GDPR compliant. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from technical modernization and enhanced security practices to reduce risk and improve user experience.

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

  2. 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';…

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

The company holds a strong market position as a leader in seamless steel pipe manufacturing with a history dating back to 1869. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and direct sales through their own network. The presence of multiple subsidiaries across Europe indicates a broad operational footprint and diversified revenue streams. The website targets industrial clients, partners, and job seekers, reflecting a B2B and employer branding approach. Strategic partnerships and subsidiaries enhance their market reach and operational capabilities. The company demonstrates commitment to workforce development and community engagement through educational and career content.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and uses privacy-conscious embedded content and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.3.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are available, which may impact transparency and trust. The site does not expose sensitive data visibly, but technical debt and missing security best practices present risks that should be addressed to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts and remove or update any that pose risks.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Lotus Domino platform, indicated by .nsf URLs, which is less common and may limit modernization options. The front-end uses legacy jQuery 1.3.2, which is outdated and vulnerable. Modern tracking and consent tools like Cookiebot and Google Tag Manager are integrated, showing some digital maturity. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic but includes meta tags and Google site verification. The site uses privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds and replaces standard YouTube iframes with youtube-nocookie.com URLs, reflecting privacy awareness. Overall, the technical stack is functional but dated, with opportunities for modernization and security improvements.
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.
