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

Cricket is a well-established brand specializing in the manufacture and retail of premium disposable and kitchen lighters, with a history dating back to 1961. The company positions itself as a leader in safety and quality standards, offering innovative products including custom-designed lighters and sustainable options made from recycled materials. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multi-language support and a focus on user experience and brand storytelling. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager for analytics, Weglot for translations, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with fast loading times and secure HTTPS connections. From a security perspective, the site employs strong SSL configurations and security headers, and incorporates privacy compliance mechanisms such as GDPR cookie consent and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for Cricket's business, though the absence of WHOIS data and direct contact details slightly reduces the business credibility score. Strategic improvements in transparency and security documentation would further strengthen the company's digital trustworthiness.

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

4 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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: metaxa.loswebos.de

      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

Cricket operates in the retail sector, focusing on consumer goods—specifically lighters. The brand leverages its long history and reputation for safety innovation to maintain a competitive advantage. Its business model includes direct sales, custom branding services, and global market reach supported by multi-language website versions. The company targets consumers, retailers, and distributors, emphasizing quality and sustainability. The partnership ecosystem includes digital service providers for analytics, translation, and compliance. Growth indicators include new product launches and design editions. The website content and structure support brand consistency and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, modern security headers, and privacy compliance tools. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure process indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. The lack of direct company contact emails for security or abuse reporting may hinder incident response effectiveness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for sales, support, and security inquiries to enhance trust and communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance business credibility by providing verified WHOIS information or clarifying domain registration details.

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.
