Camp Chef is a well-established retail brand specializing in outdoor cooking equipment including grills, smokers, camping stoves, and cast iron cookware. The company targets outdoor enthusiasts and backyard grillers, offering a comprehensive e-commerce platform with a broad product catalog and accessories. Their market position is strong within the outdoor cooking niche, supported by a consistent brand presence and professional website design. Technically, the website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations with marketing and fraud prevention tools such as Google Tag Manager, Yotpo, Signifyd, and Affirm financing. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, but lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response contact.

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. 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

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

Camp Chef operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business model focused on outdoor cooking products. Their revenue streams include product sales and financing options through partners like Affirm. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including fraud protection (Signifyd), customer reviews (Yotpo), and marketing platforms (Curalate). The target customer segments are outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and home grillers. The website's comprehensive navigation and product categorization indicate a mature digital presence. Growth indicators include integration of financing and marketing tools, and a consistent brand experience. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting Camp Chef operates as an independent entity. The company maintains a medium-sized business profile with a focus on retail and e-commerce sectors.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and Signifyd fraud protection enhances defense against bots and fraudulent transactions. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses multiple third-party scripts which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and integrations to minimize supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, a robust e-commerce platform, using modern JavaScript and CSS frameworks including Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, fraud prevention, and customer engagement. Performance is moderate with deferred and async loading of scripts to optimize page load times. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive navigation and font loading strategies. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic, with skip links present but no detailed ARIA roles or landmarks beyond standard usage. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports a professional e-commerce experience.
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.
