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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Sportson holds a strong position in the Finnish sports retail market as a niche specialist in racket sports. Their business model combines direct import and online retail, serving both end consumers and business clients. The partnership with established brands like Babolat enhances their market credibility and product offering. The company demonstrates growth potential through digital sales channels and maintains clear contact and corporate information, supporting transparency and customer trust. The absence of social media links suggests a focus on direct sales rather than broad social engagement. Strategic partnerships and a clear brand focus underpin their competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website shows a mature security posture with HTTPS encryption and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and abuse. However, the lack of explicit cookie consent mechanisms and absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern front-end technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and Google Fonts, integrated with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The presence of Google reCAPTCHA invisible version enhances form security. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary e-commerce platform, with no explicit CMS detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data for organization and website schema. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The technical setup is solid but could be improved by adding security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
