DPS Skis is a premium e-commerce business specializing in advanced skis made with aerospace carbon fiber technology. The company targets skiing enthusiasts seeking high-performance powder skis. Their market position is that of an innovative leader in ski manufacturing and retail. The website is built on Shopify, leveraging modern web technologies and marketing tools such as Klaviyo and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with fast performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, frame busting, and cookie consent, though it lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern but the professional site and Shopify hosting mitigate risk. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-constructed, supporting a medium-sized business in the outdoor sports retail sector.

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

  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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 9 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

DPS Skis operates in the niche market of high-performance skis, leveraging advanced materials and design. Their business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a focus on quality and innovation. The presence of a Riders Collective registration form indicates community engagement and customer loyalty programs. Marketing is supported by extensive tracking and analytics tools, enabling targeted campaigns. The company appears to be US-based with a medium-sized operation. The Shopify platform provides scalability and reliability. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The business benefits from strong branding and consistent messaging focused on ski technology and performance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and includes security headers like X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are best practices for transparency and readiness. Third-party scripts are used extensively, which requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and vulnerability disclosure information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact page.
  2. Add additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security updates.
  5. Enhance WHOIS registration transparency or provide justification for privacy protection.

The website is built on Shopify, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates marketing and analytics tools including Klaviyo, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. Hosting is via Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability.

No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. The technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce experience with good SEO and user experience.
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.
