Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.basspro.com is currently inaccessible due to an access denied error page, likely caused by a web application firewall or security mechanism blocking access. This prevents any meaningful analysis of the website's content, metadata, or technical infrastructure. The WHOIS lookup for the domain returned no match, indicating either domain privacy protection, domain unavailability, or an error in WHOIS data retrieval. Consequently, no registrar, creation date, or registrant information could be extracted. The lack of accessible content and WHOIS data severely limits the ability to assess the business, security posture, or compliance status of the website. From a technical perspective, the absence of any HTML content beyond an error message means no technologies, scripts, or security headers could be identified. The site is effectively non-functional for external visitors, which negatively impacts user experience, SEO, and trustworthiness. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies were found, and no contact information or incident response details are publicly available. Security-wise, the presence of a WAF or similar blocking mechanism is confirmed, but no further security headers or SSL configuration details are available. The domain's WHOIS data absence raises concerns about registration transparency and legitimacy, although this may be due to privacy protection or data source limitations. Overall, the website's current state represents a high risk for users and stakeholders due to lack of accessibility and transparency. Strategically, it is recommended to resolve the access denial issues to enable full website functionality and transparency. Publishing clear privacy and security policies, contact information, and WHOIS data will improve trust and compliance. Enhancing technical infrastructure and security posture will also benefit the business's digital maturity and market position.

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. 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 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

  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

Due to the lack of accessible website content and WHOIS data, detailed business intelligence analysis is not possible. The domain www.basspro.com is known externally as a retail brand specializing in outdoor sporting goods, but no internal data was available to confirm current market positioning, business model, or partnerships. No revenue streams, customer segments, or growth indicators could be identified from the provided data. The absence of contact or policy information further limits insights into operational maturity or compliance. Without access to the website or registrant data, no conclusions about the company's ecosystem or strategic direction can be drawn.

Security posture

The security posture assessment is severely limited by the lack of accessible website content and WHOIS data. The presence of an access denied page referencing errors.edgesuite.net suggests a web application firewall or security gateway is active, which is a positive security control. However, no security headers, SSL/TLS configuration details, or vulnerability disclosures were found. The absence of privacy policies, incident response contacts, or security certifications indicates low transparency and potential compliance gaps. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which may indicate privacy protection but also reduces trust. Overall, the security maturity appears low due to lack of publicly available information and blocked access preventing further analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve the access denied issue to allow public access and enable comprehensive website analysis.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Ensure WHOIS registration data is accurate and publicly available to enhance domain legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Implement and document security best practices including security headers, SSL/TLS configuration, and incident response contacts.
  5. Improve website technical infrastructure to support SEO, accessibility, and mobile optimization for better user experience.

Key observations

  1. Website content is inaccessible due to access denied error.
  2. No metadata, scripts, or business content available for analysis.
  3. WHOIS data is missing or domain not found in WHOIS database.
  4. No contact, privacy, or security policies detected.
  5. External link to errors.edgesuite.net indicates a security or WAF block.
  6. Unable to assess technical stack or security headers due to lack of content.
  7. Content safety is rated safe as no adult or explicit content is present.
  8. AI scoring is heavily penalized due to blocked content and missing data.
Technical notes

Notes

The technical analysis is constrained by the access denied error page and lack of website content. No HTML metadata, scripts, or technology indicators were found. The error page references errors.edgesuite.net, indicating use of a CDN or security provider that enforces access controls. No CMS, frameworks, or hosting provider information could be identified. Performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility cannot be assessed due to lack of content. The absence of security headers and SSL details further limits technical evaluation. Overall, the website appears to be either under maintenance, restricted by security policies, or misconfigured, resulting in poor technical maturity and user experience.
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.
