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

Archery 360 is a niche content website focused on archery education, lifestyle, and community engagement. It offers a variety of articles, how-to guides, and resources such as store locators and promotes Bowhunters United, an advocacy group for bowhunters. The website targets archery enthusiasts ranging from beginners to experienced bowhunters. The business model appears to be content-driven with affiliate and partner referrals, supported by an online store link. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and several plugins for SEO and user experience enhancements. It employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident in metadata and structured data. However, some accessibility features are basic, and no advanced security headers are detected. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain registration locks but lacks DNSSEC and security headers that could enhance protection. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Contact information is minimal, with no explicit emails or phone numbers on the homepage. Overall, Archery 360 presents as a legitimate, well-established niche content site with a good business reputation and technical foundation. Security and privacy practices could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, adding cookie consent, and publishing security and incident response policies.

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 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 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 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

Archery 360 occupies a niche market in archery-related content and community resources. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive educational content, a strong social media presence, and partnerships with advocacy groups like Bowhunters United. The business model leverages content marketing and affiliate referrals, with potential revenue from online store links. The target customers are archery enthusiasts and bowhunters seeking information and community engagement. Growth indicators include consistent content updates and integration with social platforms. The partnership ecosystem includes Bowhunters United and Shopify-based online stores, enhancing market reach. Operationally, the site is maintained on a WordPress platform with modern plugins, supporting scalability and content management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is limited, lacking cookie consent and detailed data protection disclosures. Incident response readiness is not evident, with no dedicated security contact or vulnerability disclosure policy. The security culture appears basic, focused on standard web security but lacking advanced measures. Enhancing these areas would reduce risk and improve compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update plugins/themes to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and several plugins including Rank Math SEO and Essential Addons for Elementor. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for frontend interactivity and visitor tracking. The hosting appears to be with GoDaddy, inferred from registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate with some motion effects and lazy loading implemented. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
