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

AA Drink is a well-established sports drink brand with a domain registered since 1996, offering a range of hydration and energy products targeted at sports enthusiasts. The website supports e-commerce through a webshop and loyalty programs such as Boost Points, complemented by a mobile app to engage users in an active lifestyle. The brand positions itself as a leader in individual sports hydration with a consistent and professional online presence. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various JavaScript libraries, hosted likely via NLHosting with a reputable registrar. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain WHOIS data supports legitimacy and consistency with the business claims. Overall, the site is functional and professional but could improve privacy compliance and security posture.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 operates in the retail sector focusing on sports and energy drinks, leveraging a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model combined with brand engagement tools like loyalty points and a mobile app. The target market is active individuals and sports enthusiasts, with a medium-sized business footprint. The domain age and consistent branding indicate a mature market position. The company appears to have a strong partnership ecosystem, though no explicit partner domains were identified. Revenue streams likely include product sales via webshop and Boost Shop, as well as brand loyalty programs. The website content and structure support a clear business model focused on product sales and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response contacts indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Improve accessibility features to ensure compliance with standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or unknown CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates multiple JavaScript libraries for UI components, video playback, date picking, and image cropping. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome. Hosting appears to be with NLHosting, supported by Key-Systems GmbH as registrar. Performance is moderate with some modern features but could benefit from optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS-specific vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content.
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.
