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

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

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 website operates in the niche e-commerce sector focused on football sportswear and equipment. Its market positioning is that of a specialized retailer offering products from major brands like Nike, adidas, Puma, and others. The business model is direct online retail with a focus on product variety and fast shipping. The target audience includes football players, teams, and fans looking for authentic and latest football gear. The presence of multiple product categories and brands indicates a broad product offering. The company appears to be small-sized and recently founded, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. The use of marketing automation and Google advertising tools suggests active customer acquisition strategies. However, the lack of visible contact information and formal policies may limit trust for some customers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and domain status includes clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse. A consent management platform is implemented for GDPR compliance. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce use but could improve in formal security documentation and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies linked from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento (OpenMage), a widely used e-commerce platform, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses modern web fonts, responsive design, and JavaScript libraries such as Slick Slider for UI components. Integration with Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and AdWords shows a mature marketing and analytics setup. The site is hosted with Gandi, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility is basic with some labels and input attributes present. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Overall, the technical implementation is sound but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more comprehensive accessibility 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.
