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

Foot Locker Belgium operates a professional and well-branded e-commerce platform specializing in sneakers, clothing, and accessories targeted at Belgian consumers. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as React, Tailwind CSS, Adobe DTM, and Google Tag Manager, supporting a responsive and accessible user experience. The site includes comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements, and integrates consent management mechanisms. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and security headers present, although explicit security policy and incident response contacts are not publicly visible. WHOIS data is restricted due to .be domain privacy policies, but the website's branding and content strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is a high-quality retail platform with good technical and security maturity.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

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

Foot Locker Belgium holds a strong market position as a leading retailer in the sneaker and apparel sector within Belgium. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales complemented by physical store presence and click & collect services. The company leverages partnerships with major brands like Nike, Adidas, and New Balance, as evidenced by brand-specific promotions and product offerings. The website's integration with social media platforms and career portals indicates a well-rounded ecosystem supporting customer engagement and talent acquisition. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on digital self-service and support via dedicated help portals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS encryption, use of security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of modern tracking and tag management tools is balanced with privacy compliance measures including cookie consent banners and detailed privacy policies. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents an area for improvement. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. The domain's WHOIS privacy is typical for the region and business type, not raising immediate concerns.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy headers to further mitigate risks of cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and user data handling to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern front-end framework (React) with Tailwind CSS for styling, ensuring responsive and accessible design. Integration with Adobe DTM and Google Tag Manager supports advanced analytics and marketing capabilities. Queue-it is used for traffic management during peak loads. The site loads efficiently with preloaded fonts and optimized images. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are implemented. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Performance is moderate to good, with room for optimization in loading speed and caching strategies.
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.
