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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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 Australia benefits from its affiliation with the global Foot Locker brand, leveraging strong brand recognition and a wide product portfolio from major athletic brands like Nike and adidas. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer online retail, supported by a comprehensive digital marketing ecosystem. The company targets a broad demographic interested in sportswear and lifestyle footwear, with a clear emphasis on convenience and customer experience. The presence of regional sister sites and a parent company domain indicates a well-structured corporate ecosystem. Growth opportunities lie in expanding digital services and enhancing transparency around security and compliance. The partnership ecosystem includes major brand suppliers and digital marketing platforms, reinforcing its competitive advantage in the retail sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, and secure payment form enhancements. The integration of OneTrust for cookie consent aligns with GDPR and privacy best practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information limits transparency and may impact customer trust in the event of a security incident. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing vulnerability disclosure policies and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with Tailwind CSS for styling, ensuring responsive and accessible design across devices. It utilizes Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Target for content management and personalization, alongside Google Tag Manager and RudderStack for analytics and tracking. The hosting infrastructure appears to leverage Adobe's CDN services, contributing to moderate to fast performance. Accessibility features and SEO optimizations are well implemented, supporting a positive user experience. Technical debt appears minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to maintain security and performance standards.
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.
