Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and GDPR outside view.
Circle One Surf is a well-established UK-based surf brand founded in 1969, specializing in retailing premium water sports equipment such as surfboards, wetsuits, bodyboards, SUPs, and skimboards. The company operates a professional e-commerce website hosted on the Shopify platform, targeting water sports enthusiasts primarily in the UK and Europe. The website demonstrates good content quality, clear navigation, and consistent branding, supporting a medium-sized retail business model with a strong market position in the surf equipment sector. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Shopify Liquid templates, ES modules, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Klarna messaging. Hosting is managed via Shopify's CDN with Cloudflare DNS, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but functional, and SEO practices are well implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and employs hCaptcha for form protection. While explicit security policies and incident response information are not published, the site follows best practices by not exposing sensitive data and using secure checkout processes. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the business history and shows no suspicious patterns, though DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. Overall, Circle One Surf's website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations including GDPR. The risk profile is low with no critical vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure, and enhancing accessibility features to further strengthen trust and compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions
SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
