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.

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.

Business context

Business profile

ZONER software, a.s. holds a leading position in the Czech technology market, specializing in software for photography, internet services, and online security. Their diversified business model includes software sales, web hosting, SSL certificate issuance, and publishing, targeting both individual consumers and corporate clients. The company has a broad geographic reach with customers in over 60 countries and a workforce of approximately 100 employees. Their ecosystem includes multiple brands and subsidiaries that complement their core offerings, creating cross-selling opportunities and a robust partnership network. The company’s longevity and extensive customer base indicate stable revenue streams and growth potential. Their strategic focus on e-commerce and security aligns well with current market trends.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, which could be enhanced to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is standard but should be regularly audited for security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated by adopting best practices in security communication and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It uses modern front-end libraries like Slick Carousel for UI components. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Accessibility features appear to be implemented at a good level. The technical stack is standard for a professional corporate website, balancing functionality and maintainability. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and possibly adopt newer JavaScript frameworks for enhanced performance and security.
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.
