Risk levelMedium

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

American Fire Cache operates as a specialized retailer and training provider focused on wildland firefighting gear and equipment. The company targets firefighting professionals and departments, offering both ecommerce sales and NWCG training services. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and business hours, supporting its niche market position. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript modules, a Vue.js framework, and Craft CMS with CSRF protections, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and security awareness. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, combined with missing WHOIS registration data, introduces concerns regarding compliance and domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional, secure in transport, and well-structured but would benefit from enhanced transparency and policy disclosures.

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. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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 business operates in the energy sector with a focus on retail and training for wildland firefighting. Its business model combines ecommerce sales with educational services, targeting a specialized customer base. The presence of department and bulk order options suggests engagement with institutional clients. The company maintains a social media presence on Instagram, enhancing community engagement. Lack of WHOIS data and privacy policies may impact trust with some customers. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the domain data. The company appears small in size but well-positioned within its niche market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements CSRF tokens for form security, reflecting good baseline security practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adding security headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata for improved user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with JavaScript ES modules and Vue.js framework components, built with Vite. It is hosted on a platform supporting Craft CMS, indicated by CSRF tokens and Formie plugin usage. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently and is mobile optimized. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts were detected, indicating minimal tracking. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from additional security headers and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
