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

Equip Sport is a Switzerland-based company operating a premium sports equipment app that connects users to over 20,000 stations across Europe, enabling convenient access to sports equipment anytime and anywhere. The business targets sports enthusiasts and active individuals, leveraging a platform and mobile app business model. The company is relatively new, founded in 2022, and operates under the parent company Nidecker SA. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality, supporting app downloads for iOS and Android platforms. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, utilizing modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Mapbox for location services, and Uberall's store finder widget. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. It uses reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot activity and integrates Google Analytics and Ads for tracking. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, indicating an area for enhancement. Overall, Equip Sport presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a solid technical foundation and compliance posture. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency, accessibility, and explicit contact information would further strengthen its risk profile and user trust.

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

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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

Equip Sport positions itself as a premium sports equipment access platform with a broad European footprint. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive network of over 20,000 stations and a user-friendly mobile app. The business model focuses on platform connectivity rather than direct equipment sales, targeting active consumers seeking convenience. The company benefits from its Swiss origin and association with Nidecker SA, a known entity in the sports sector. Growth indicators include app store presence and positive user ratings. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers like Uberall and Mapbox, enhancing location-based services. The absence of direct contact details on the website suggests a focus on digital self-service and app engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. Use of reCAPTCHA adds protection against automated abuse. However, the lack of comprehensive security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, incident response procedures, and a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and readiness. Regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies are recommended to mitigate supply chain risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels for security issues.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Provide clear and accessible contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts, Mapbox for mapping, and Uberall's store finder widget for location services. It uses modern front-end technologies and asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance. Hosting is via Infomaniak, a Swiss provider, which aligns with the registrant's country. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. Accessibility is basic, suggesting room for enhancement to comply with standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
