Their product range includes T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, hats, bumper stickers, posters, vehicle decals, mugs, and custom design services.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

The company occupies a niche market within Canadian military apparel, leveraging its founders' military backgrounds as a competitive advantage. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with additional wholesale and custom design offerings. The presence of gift cards and multiple product categories indicates diversified revenue streams. The use of Shopify and third-party marketing tools suggests a digitally mature but small-sized business. The website's content and navigation are clear, supporting a positive user experience. No suspicious or fraudulent indicators were found, and the domain age aligns with the business history.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS are detected, which could improve security posture. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional best practices and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add an incident response and vulnerability disclosure page to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Klaviyo, and Wishpond. The site loads resources from Shopify's CDN and other trusted third-party domains. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. The technical infrastructure is solid for a small e-commerce business but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
