Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

74/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Felons Brewing Co. is a small hospitality and retail business operating brewery venues in Brisbane and Sydney, Australia. The company offers craft beer products and merchandise through its Shopify-based e-commerce platform and physical locations. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting adult consumers interested in craft beer experiences. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Shopify, JavaScript libraries, and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain locking but lacks some security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration and DNS setup are consistent with a legitimate business, and no blocking or WAF challenges were detected.

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. 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

    • 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

  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
    • 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

The business positions itself as a regional craft brewery with physical venues and an online shop, focusing on quality beer and customer experience. The business model combines hospitality services with e-commerce retail. The target audience is mature adults interested in craft beer and social venues. The company uses Shopify as its platform, indicating a scalable and professional e-commerce infrastructure. Marketing efforts include customer reviews and social media integration. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The business shows consistent branding and moderate trust indicators.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS, which are positive security measures. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options. There is no published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information. Forms are present but no explicit security measures like CAPTCHA or anti-bot protections were identified. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file with contact information.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing pixels for security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, using Liquid templates and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and customer reviews. The site loads asynchronously and uses lazy loading for images, improving performance. Hosting is via Shopify with DNS managed by Cloudflare. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data, though some JSON-LD data is minimal. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but some security best practices are missing.
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.
