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

Foot-Store.it is an Italian e-commerce platform specializing in football-related footwear, apparel, and equipment, targeting football players and enthusiasts primarily in Italy and Europe. The website offers a wide range of products including shoes, jerseys, goalkeeper and referee gear, and accessories. The business appears to be medium-sized and founded around 2020, with a focused niche in the sports retail sector. The site uses Magento (OpenMage) as its CMS and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and AWIN affiliate tracking, supported by a consent management framework compliant with IAB TCF v2 standards. Technically, the website demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and a moderate performance profile. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks explicit security headers and has a critical issue with the domain registration being expired recently, which poses risks to business continuity and security. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of visible privacy policy and terms of service pages, which should be addressed to meet GDPR requirements fully. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in appearance but requires urgent attention to domain renewal and enhancement of privacy and security policies to improve compliance and reduce risk. Strategic improvements in security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies would further strengthen the security posture.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 6 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  2. 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

  3. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 19 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  4. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Foot-Store.it operates in the competitive European football retail market, focusing on specialized football gear and apparel. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging brand partnerships with major sports brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma, and others. The presence of affiliate marketing via AWIN and marketing automation tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at customer acquisition and retention. The company targets football players, teams, and fans, including specialized segments such as goalkeepers and referees. The website's multilingual presence across European domains suggests a broader regional market approach. Growth indicators include frequent product updates and promotions. However, the expired domain status could impact customer trust and operational stability if not resolved promptly.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, indicating baseline security awareness. Consent management is implemented via IAB TCF v2, supporting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The expired domain registration is a significant vulnerability that could lead to domain hijacking or downtime. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, limiting transparency and preparedness. Privacy policy absence is a compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires immediate remediation of domain status and enhancement of security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the domain registration immediately to prevent service disruption and security risks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add and configure essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing contact information for security incidents and data protection officer if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento (OpenMage), a widely used e-commerce platform, indicating a robust infrastructure for online retail. It uses modern web fonts, asynchronous loading of analytics and advertising scripts, and a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and affiliate tracking via AWIN shows a mature marketing technology stack. However, performance is moderate, possibly due to multiple third-party scripts and large image assets. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA roles. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. The expired domain and lack of DNSSEC are technical risks that should be mitigated promptly.
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.
