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

Philly Bike Ride operates an official e-commerce store for American Bike Ride events in Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Dallas, offering branded cycling apparel and merchandise. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern JavaScript and Shopify's integrated payment and analytics services. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and relevant content for cycling enthusiasts. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and form protection via hCaptcha, though improvements can be made by enabling DNSSEC and publishing explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration and website content are consistent and legitimate, reflecting a trustworthy small business e-commerce operation.

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

4 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.

    • 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

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 targets cycling event participants and fans, selling official merchandise such as jerseys, headwear, and outerwear. The market position is niche and event-specific, leveraging official branding to build trust and exclusivity. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, with Shopify providing the technological backbone. The absence of visible contact details and policies may limit customer trust and compliance with privacy regulations. The company was founded in 2022, aligning with the domain age. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The use of Shopify analytics and payment tools suggests integration with common e-commerce ecosystems.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to protect forms, reducing spam and automated abuse. Security headers are not explicitly visible but likely managed by Shopify's hosting environment. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for maturity improvement. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. Overall, the security posture is good for a small e-commerce site but could be strengthened with explicit policies and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add clear contact information including company email and phone number on the website.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  5. Publish security policy and incident response information to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Shopify's Dawn theme with modern JavaScript modules and Shopify's CDN for asset delivery, ensuring good performance and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The use of Shopify Pay and analytics indicates integration with Shopify's ecosystem. Performance is moderate, with some deferred scripts and preconnect hints. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from explicit security headers and DNSSEC configuration.
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.
