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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Cowboy operates in the transportation sector, focusing on connected e-bikes for urban commuters. Their competitive advantages include pioneering theft detection technology, a strong service network, and sustainability credentials through B Corp certification. Revenue streams likely include direct bike sales, accessories, leasing options, and insurance products. The target customer segment is urban riders valuing technology, design, and sustainability. The company demonstrates growth through expanding service locations and digital engagement via their app and online quiz for product matching. Partnerships with Shopify and various advertising platforms support their marketing ecosystem. Strategic observations highlight a focus on innovation, customer experience, and environmental responsibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with HTTPS enforced, domain status protections, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response page and lack of DNSSEC implementation are areas for improvement. The use of multiple third-party tracking and advertising scripts necessitates ongoing vigilance to manage privacy and security risks. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the current analysis, suggesting a secure operational environment.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize attack surface.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible security assurances and certifications on the website.

Technical notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using modern technologies such as Tailwind CSS and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and various social media pixels. Hosting and DNS are managed via OVH and Cloudflare respectively, providing reliable infrastructure and CDN capabilities. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Performance is fast with well-structured content and metadata including comprehensive JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for modernization focused on security enhancements and potential expansion of compliance documentation.
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.
