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

DSB-Shop is a specialized German e-commerce platform focused on retailing shooting sports merchandise, including official event products, training equipment, and fan articles. The website targets members and enthusiasts of German shooting sports, offering a niche product catalog with a clear market position. The business has been established since 2009, indicating a mature presence in its sector. Technically, the website is built on the Shopware CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with libraries like Modernizr. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features, though there is room for improvement in SEO and performance tuning. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the German market focus. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, it lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, and does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and terms of service, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional e-commerce presence with moderate technical and security maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and incident response transparency would enhance its posture and 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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

DSB-Shop operates in a niche retail segment serving the German shooting sports community. Its competitive advantage lies in offering official merchandise and event-related products that cater specifically to this audience. The business model is straightforward e-commerce, generating revenue through direct sales of sports equipment, apparel, and fan items. The target customers are sports clubs, athletes, and fans within Germany. The company has maintained a stable market presence since 2009, indicating consistent demand and operational stability. Partnerships with payment providers like PayPal are evident, supporting secure transactions. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on customer convenience and product variety within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas of vulnerability. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate awareness of data protection regulations, but no dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance DNS security, implement security headers, and publish incident response information to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and search engine ranking.
  5. Consider adding verified contact emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopware CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with Modernizr for feature detection. The site uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization and includes meta tags for social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter Cards). Hosting is managed through a German registrar and DNS servers, consistent with the target market. Performance appears moderate with room for optimization. No advanced frameworks or analytics tools were detected in the provided HTML snippet. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization in security and performance aspects.
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.
