Partial score · DNS & email only

70/100

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

ALPINA Sports operates an official e-commerce webshop specializing in high-quality sports safety equipment such as bicycle helmets, ski helmets, and sports eyewear. The website targets sports enthusiasts primarily in Germany and offers direct sales with customer support and product guidance. The digital infrastructure is built on Magento Commerce with modern JavaScript frameworks and includes integrations for analytics, consent management, and search optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and reCAPTCHA implementations, although the absence of a public security policy and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. The missing WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that impacts domain trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with GDPR, serving a medium-sized retail business effectively.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 positions itself as a direct-to-consumer brand webshop in the sports retail sector, focusing on helmets and eyewear. It leverages Magento's e-commerce capabilities and integrates advanced search and tracking tools to enhance customer experience and marketing. The presence of Usercentrics CMP and GDPR-compliant policies indicates a mature approach to privacy. The partnership with uvex.de suggests a broader brand ecosystem. The business model is retail e-commerce with free shipping and returns, targeting German-speaking customers. The lack of visible company registration and VAT information online is a minor gap in business transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and use of reCAPTCHA on login forms. Content Security Policy and cookie security flags are implemented. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party tracking domains, some less known, should be periodically reviewed to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking domains for security and privacy risks.
  5. Increase visibility of incident response contacts and data protection officer information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Magento Commerce as its CMS and e-commerce platform, supported by RequireJS and jQuery for frontend modularity and interactivity. It integrates New Relic for performance monitoring and Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting a modern and privacy-aware tech stack. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets asynchronously, improving performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive stylesheets and adaptive content. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Some external domains used for tracking are less common and should be monitored. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, though hosting provider details are not explicit.
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.
