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

BTC Activewear is a UK-based wholesale distributor specializing in activewear, promotional, corporate, school, and workwear clothing. Positioned as the UK's No.1 multi-brand distributor in this sector, the company targets businesses and organizations seeking quality wholesale apparel. The website reflects a professional e-commerce platform built on Magento 2 with the modern Hyvä theme, integrating advanced monitoring and analytics tools such as New Relic and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with clear branding and consistent content quality. However, the absence of a visible privacy policy and WHOIS data gaps slightly reduce trustworthiness from a compliance perspective. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response disclosures.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

      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';…

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

Business profile

BTC Activewear operates a wholesale distribution business model focused on activewear and corporate clothing within the UK retail sector. The company leverages a multi-brand approach to serve promotional and workwear markets, positioning itself as a market leader. The website's integration with social media and structured data enhances its digital presence. The use of Magento 2 and Hyvä theme indicates investment in scalable e-commerce infrastructure. Partnerships include customer service platforms and delivery subdomains, suggesting a mature operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include advanced analytics and marketing tools. The company maintains clear contact channels and a professional online storefront, supporting strong customer engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Monitoring via New Relic and Google Tag Manager indicates active performance and security oversight. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which slightly impacts trust but does not directly affect site security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and link it prominently on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear security incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS domain registration issues to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento 2 with the Hyvä theme, leveraging modern frontend technologies such as Alpine.js and Swiper.js for interactive UI components. It integrates third-party analytics and monitoring tools including New Relic Browser and Adobe Helix RUM, alongside Google Tag Manager for marketing and tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses cookie consent scripts to comply with privacy regulations. Technical debt appears low, but improvements can be made in security header implementation and accessibility features. The infrastructure supports scalability and provides a solid foundation for e-commerce operations.
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.
