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

EXHOBBY operates as an e-commerce retailer specializing in remote control hobby products including planes, boats, trucks, and accessories under the VOLANTEXRC brand. The company targets RC hobbyists globally, leveraging Shopify's platform to provide a professional and user-friendly shopping experience with free shipping from US stock. The website demonstrates consistent branding and a clear business focus on RC hobby products. Technically, the site uses a modern Shopify infrastructure with multiple third-party marketing and analytics integrations, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain and website appear legitimate and professionally managed, though WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable as expected. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance and security header implementation to improve trust and compliance.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

EXHOBBY positions itself as an official distributor of VOLANTEXRC products, focusing on the niche market of RC hobby enthusiasts. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a focus on competitive pricing and fast shipping from US stock. The company maintains a presence on major social media platforms to engage customers and build brand awareness. The use of Shopify and multiple marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. No direct competitors or partnerships are explicitly identified in the data, but the company leverages popular e-commerce and marketing technologies to maintain market relevance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Shopify's secure hosting environment, providing a solid baseline security posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses multiple third-party scripts which should be regularly audited to prevent supply chain risks. Privacy compliance is minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Incident response and security contact information are not published, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with better policy visibility and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and integrations for vulnerabilities or malicious behavior.
  4. Provide clear security incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a robust security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, leveraging its CDN and e-commerce framework, which provides scalability and security. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and integrations with marketing and analytics tools such as Klaviyo, Yotpo, Trustpilot, and Globo Related Products. The site uses responsive design and optimized fonts for good mobile experience. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of some scripts to improve page load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
