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

Budget Sport is a Finnish-based large retail e-commerce platform specializing in affordable sportswear and equipment. It operates under the parent company Intersport Finland Oy and targets Finnish consumers with a broad product range including running, cycling, football, and golf gear. The website is well-structured with clear navigation, multiple product categories, and a consistent brand presence. Technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies such as lazy loading and templating, hosted via Cloudflare with integration of Google Tag Manager and Google Maps API. However, the site currently suffers from a critical security issue: the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and TLS protocols are disabled, severely impacting the security posture. Despite this, privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, and contact information is clearly provided. Overall, the site scores well on content quality and business credibility but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS configuration to improve security and trust.

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. 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

    • 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

      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

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

Budget Sport holds a growing position in the Finnish sports retail market, leveraging a discount business model with a wide product assortment and multiple physical stores. Its partnership ecosystem includes Kesko (parent company), Plussa loyalty program, and Intersport studio for content delivery. The business model focuses on e-commerce sales complemented by club memberships offering discounts. The company targets active consumers seeking affordable sports products and maintains a strong brand portfolio including Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Wilson. Growth indicators include frequent product updates, seasonal promotions, and active content marketing via articles and guides. Strategic observations suggest a focus on expanding digital presence and improving customer engagement through loyalty programs and multi-channel sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with implementation of key security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential data interception and trust issues. No evidence of incident response policies or security certifications was found. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms. The site lacks advanced security features like OCSP stapling and session resumption. Overall, the security posture requires immediate attention to SSL/TLS configuration to mitigate risks and align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure SSL/TLS certificates to enable secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Regularly audit and update security headers and privacy policies to maintain compliance.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and publish security contact information to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript with Mustache.js templating and LazySizes for image lazy loading. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Maps API for analytics and location services. The CMS identified is Crasman Stage. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Cloudflare. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The main technical risk is the missing or invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which critically impact secure communications. The site is well organized with structured data markup enhancing SEO and business information visibility.
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.
