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

ATHELITE is an established Australian e-commerce business founded in 2004, specializing in sports apparel and sponsorship opportunities for athletes and teams. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Debut theme, integrating marketing tools such as Klaviyo and form builders for detailed sponsorship applications. The technical infrastructure is modern and moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, though accessibility and SEO could be improved. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the business presents a professional and trustworthy front with room for enhancing privacy and security practices.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

ATHELITE operates in the niche sports apparel and sponsorship market, targeting athletes and sports teams. Its business model combines direct e-commerce sales with sponsorship engagement, leveraging detailed forms to collect applicant data. The company appears small but established, with a consistent brand presence and a focus on community engagement through sponsorships. Marketing efforts include email marketing via Klaviyo. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for form-based communication. The domain age and registration details support legitimacy, though the absence of privacy and cookie policies may affect customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks DNSSEC, which could expose it to DNS spoofing risks. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could leave the site vulnerable to clickjacking, XSS, and other attacks. Forms are present but do not implement CAPTCHA or advanced bot mitigation, increasing spam risk. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures on all forms to reduce spam and abuse.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Debut theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It integrates third-party marketing and form builder tools such as Klaviyo and Globo Form Builder. The site uses CDN hosting for assets, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data like JSON-LD for enhanced search visibility. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can benefit from security and compliance enhancements.
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.
