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

Direct-Volley is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on volleyball equipment and accessories, primarily serving the Portuguese market with multilingual support for other European countries. The website offers a wide range of products including shoes, clothing, balls, protections, and club equipment, positioning itself as the number one online volleyball store in its niche. The business model is retail e-commerce with emphasis on fast delivery and competitive pricing. Technically, the website is built on the OpenMage platform (a Magento fork), utilizing modern web technologies and integrating Google Analytics, Google Ads, and marketing automation tools. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and product categorization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and reCAPTCHA integration, but lacks some advanced security headers and publicly disclosed security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service documentation. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though improvements in transparency and security documentation are recommended.

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

9 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

Direct-Volley operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors, targeting volleyball players, sports clubs, and enthusiasts. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialization in volleyball products and comprehensive product range from multiple well-known brands. The business leverages online marketing and affiliate programs (AWIN) to drive sales. The multilingual approach and detailed product categorization indicate a strategy to capture a broader European audience. The absence of explicit company contact details and legal documentation on the site suggests room for improvement in customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company appears to be medium-sized with a focused market niche and a stable digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicates limited transparency in security governance. GDPR compliance is partially implemented through cookie consent but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be strengthened by adopting best practices and improving policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including customer support and security incident contacts.
  4. Develop and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability and meet regulatory standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on OpenMage, a Magento fork, indicating a mature e-commerce platform with extensive customization. It uses modern web fonts, asynchronous JavaScript loading, and integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics services. The site is mobile-optimized and structured with clear navigation hierarchies. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and deferred script loading. However, some technical debt may exist due to missing advanced security headers and limited accessibility features. The use of multiple profiling and marketing scripts suggests a focus on user behavior analytics and targeted advertising. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce experience but could benefit from modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
