59/100

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

Burton Snowboards is a well-established leader in the snowboarding retail industry, offering a comprehensive range of products including snowboards, boots, bindings, apparel, and accessories. Founded in 1977, the company has a strong brand presence and a loyal customer base, supported by a professional e-commerce platform that targets snowboarding enthusiasts and outdoor sports consumers. The website demonstrates excellent content quality, clear navigation, and consistent branding, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages modern e-commerce technologies such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud (Demandware), Cloudflare CDN, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, OneTrust, and Yotpo. However, the current SSL certificate is invalid or missing, which poses a critical security risk and impacts user trust. Security headers are implemented but HSTS is not fully enabled, indicating room for improvement in HTTPS enforcement. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent attention to SSL configuration to enhance security posture.

Priority findings

1 finding 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Burton Snowboards operates in the retail sector with a focus on snowboarding and outdoor sports equipment. The company maintains a large-scale e-commerce business model, supported by loyalty programs and affiliate marketing. Its market position is strong, with a recognized brand and a subsidiary brand, Anon Optics. The company engages customers through rich content, social media, and customer support channels. Partnerships with Salesforce and other service providers enhance operational capabilities. The business shows signs of digital maturity and strategic marketing, with a comprehensive product catalog and promotional campaigns. The domain registration data aligns well with the company's history and public information, supporting legitimacy and trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security posture with several best practices in place, such as secure cookies, content security policies, and absence of vulnerable SSL/TLS protocols. However, the invalid SSL certificate is a critical issue that undermines HTTPS security and user trust. The lack of full HSTS implementation further weakens HTTPS enforcement. No explicit security policy or incident response information is found on the site, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, while the site is not exposed to known vulnerabilities, the SSL issue and incomplete security policies represent significant gaps.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure the SSL certificate to ensure HTTPS security and user trust.
  2. Enable full HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce HTTPS.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data protection officer contact visibility and GDPR compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud (Demandware) platform, utilizing Cloudflare and Akamai CDNs for hosting and performance optimization. It employs modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, OneTrust, and Yotpo. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in load times and resource optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce experience but requires SSL certificate renewal and enhanced HTTPS enforcement to mitigate security risks.
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.
