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

The website www.englandstore.com serves as the official online store for the England Football Association, offering officially licensed 2024 England national team kits, apparel, and merchandise. The site targets football fans and supporters of the England national teams, including the Lionesses. The business model is e-commerce retail focused on sports merchandise. The website demonstrates good content quality, professional design, and consistent branding aligned with the England FA identity. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. From a technical perspective, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, WOFF2 fonts, and HTTPS for secure communication. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, but no advanced frameworks or CMS platforms are explicitly detected. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate to good, though accessibility features appear basic. The lack of visible security headers and absence of privacy and cookie policies indicate room for improvement in security and compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but missing key security headers and no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The site lacks explicit privacy compliance indicators such as GDPR notices or cookie consent mechanisms. No contact emails or phone numbers are found, limiting business credibility and user trust. Overall, while the site appears professional and safe for general audiences, the domain registration inconsistency and missing compliance documentation present risks. Strategic recommendations include verifying and publishing WHOIS registration details, implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, adding security headers, and providing clear contact and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance. These steps will improve the website's security posture, regulatory adherence, and business credibility.

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.

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 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

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 England FA Store operates as an official e-commerce platform selling licensed football merchandise related to the England national teams. Its market positioning leverages the strong brand equity of the English Football Association and targets football fans domestically and internationally. The business model centers on direct retail sales of apparel and accessories. Revenue streams likely include kit sales, fan gear, and related merchandise. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes official licensors and possibly third-party logistics and payment processors, though no explicit partner domains are identified. Growth indicators include updated 2024 kits and multi-language support for European markets. The absence of detailed company information and contact data limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of a security.txt file or public vulnerability disclosure program is found, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible GDPR notices or cookie consent banners. No contact channels for security incidents or abuse are provided. The lack of WHOIS registration data further complicates trust assessment. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish accurate WHOIS registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  2. Implement and display comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure program (security.txt) to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Provide clear company contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with WOFF2 font loading for performance optimization. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site is served over HTTPS, indicating a valid SSL/TLS configuration. No specific CMS or backend platform is identified from the HTML content. Performance appears moderate with preloading and prefetching of resources. Mobile optimization is good with responsive meta tags and styles. Accessibility features are basic, with limited ARIA or semantic enhancements detected. SEO optimization is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt is not evident but the lack of security headers and compliance documentation suggests areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
