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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  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 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 company operates primarily in the e-commerce sector targeting health-conscious consumers and professional athletes. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales through an online storefront. The presence of the Humble Group as a parent company indicates a broader corporate structure and potential for growth and partnership synergies. The brand maintains a consistent and professional online presence with trust signals such as certifications and social media engagement. Marketing efforts are supported by extensive tracking and retargeting technologies, enabling data-driven customer acquisition and retention strategies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs domain locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and pixels, which are managed with a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. Security headers beyond domain locking and HTTPS are not explicitly observed, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security policies. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities are detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic SEO audits to maintain and improve digital presence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Shopify and uses the Impulse theme, providing a robust and scalable e-commerce infrastructure. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, including Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar, Yotpo, and Klaviyo, indicating a mature approach to customer insights and engagement. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility compliance. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and locked with multiple EPP prohibitions, indicating legitimate ownership. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security headers to reduce attack surface.
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.
