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.

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.

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.

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
Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file with contact information.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing pixels for security and privacy risks.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

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.
