Risk levelLow

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

Butler Creek operates a professional e-commerce website specializing in shooting and hunting accessories such as scope covers, gun covers, slings, caddies, and magazine loaders. The company targets shooting enthusiasts and hunters, positioning itself as a niche leader with innovative and field-proven products. The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, leveraging modern technologies and third-party integrations for payment, fraud protection, and analytics. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and clear navigation, providing a positive user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data and lack of explicit privacy policy or contact emails reduce overall trust and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in transparency and contact information would enhance credibility and compliance.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: butlercreek-com.mail.protection.outlook.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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 in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on firearm and shooting accessories. Its business model is direct online sales with a curated product catalog targeting a specialized audience. The presence of partner brands such as Beestinger, Champion, Gold Tip, Hoppes, and Primos indicates a strong partnership ecosystem. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a medium-sized business profile. While the domain registration details are missing, the operational website and integrations suggest a mature digital presence. The company could benefit from publishing more detailed business and compliance information to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers, indicating a solid security foundation. Use of Signifyd for fraud protection and OneTrust for cookie consent reflects attention to security and privacy best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in security transparency and readiness. Enhancing these areas would improve the security maturity and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear company contact emails and phone numbers on the website for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, utilizing JavaScript, jQuery, and multiple third-party SDKs for payments (Sezzle), fraud protection (Signifyd), and analytics (Google Tag Manager, Bing Ads, Yotpo). The site uses modern web standards with preloading of fonts and scripts, responsive design, and SEO-friendly metadata. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from improved accessibility and explicit documentation of privacy and security practices. Hosting appears to be managed by Salesforce Commerce Cloud, ensuring reliable uptime and scalability.
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.
