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

Cycology Clothing AUS operates an e-commerce platform specializing in cycling apparel and accessories targeting the Asia Pacific and Australian markets. The website is built on Shopify, leveraging a modern tech stack with integrations including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Klaviyo, and Okendo Reviews, indicating a mature digital marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and user experience, catering well to its niche audience of cycling enthusiasts. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reputable third-party tools used, though explicit security headers and privacy policies are not clearly presented in the analyzed content. The absence of WHOIS registrant data suggests privacy protection or recent domain registration, which is common for Shopify stores but slightly reduces transparency. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its market segment.

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. 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

  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 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

The company focuses on retailing cycling clothing and gear through an e-commerce model, serving primarily the Australian and Asia Pacific regions with localized domains for Europe, UK, Japan, and the US. The business leverages Shopify's platform for scalability and ease of management. Marketing efforts are supported by advanced analytics and customer engagement tools such as Klaviyo and Okendo, indicating a focus on customer retention and loyalty. The brand maintains consistent branding and a clear market niche, with no apparent subsidiaries or parent companies disclosed. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies may impact customer trust and compliance but does not detract significantly from the overall business credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts, and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the provided content, which could be improved to enhance security against common web attacks. The absence of a clear privacy policy and cookie policy page reduces compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is common for e-commerce sites but represents an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities and performance impact.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact to improve transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Klaviyo, and Okendo Reviews. The site uses CDN hosting via Shopify, ensuring good availability and performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and font loading optimizations. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with multiple third-party scripts that could impact load times. The technical infrastructure is robust for an e-commerce platform but could be optimized further for speed and security header implementation.
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.
