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

6D Helmets is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on advanced helmet safety technology for various sports including moto, bike, street, and youth markets. The company positions itself as an innovator in brain protection with a strong online presence powered by Shopify. Their website integrates multiple customer engagement tools such as forms for registration, inspection, and returns, as well as customer reviews and marketing platforms. Technically, the site is built on a modern Shopify theme with good performance and mobile optimization, hosted on Cloudflare and Google Cloud Platform. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, HSTS, and security headers, though the lack of TLS 1.2+ support and DNSSEC are notable gaps. Privacy and terms policies are present, supporting compliance, but incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are absent. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with room for security enhancements and improved compliance documentation.

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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

6D Helmets operates in the retail sector with a focus on protective sports equipment. Their business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging Shopify's platform and third-party integrations for marketing and customer service. The company targets athletes and safety-conscious consumers, offering a range of helmets and related apparel. Their market position is that of a safety innovator with a commitment to brain protection technology. Partnerships with distributors and dealers are supported via locator tools and forms. The presence of product certifications and a warranty program enhances trust. The company maintains active social media channels to engage customers and promote brand awareness. The use of advanced form builders and review platforms indicates a focus on customer feedback and data-driven marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced, HSTS enabled, and multiple security headers configured to prevent clickjacking, mixed content, and MIME sniffing. The SSL certificate is valid and not self-signed, but the absence of TLS 1.2 or higher protocols is a critical security concern that should be addressed promptly. No known SSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are present. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, indicating a gap in transparency and readiness for security incidents. Contact emails for security issues are not provided. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by updating TLS protocols, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 or higher to ensure secure communications.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Review and enhance accessibility compliance to improve user experience for all visitors.

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Impulse theme version 7.3.4, leveraging Shopify's CDN and Cloudflare for hosting and security. It integrates multiple third-party services including Klaviyo for email marketing, Judge.me for customer reviews, and powerful form builders for data collection. The site uses modern JavaScript and CSS assets, Google Fonts, and preconnects to optimize resource loading. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the SSL/TLS configuration lacks support for modern protocols, which is a technical risk. The site uses extensive client-side scripts for analytics, marketing, and user interaction, indicating a mature digital infrastructure but also a moderate level of user tracking. Overall, the technical stack is robust and well-integrated but requires security protocol updates.
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.
