Footshop a.s. operates a large-scale e-commerce platform specializing in sneakers, apparel, and accessories, targeting sneaker enthusiasts and general consumers primarily in Poland and across Europe. The website offers a broad selection of popular brands such as adidas, Nike, Converse, and Vans, positioning itself as a leading retailer in the sneaker market. The business model focuses on direct online sales complemented by a loyalty program and multi-country presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, Typekit fonts, and a Bootstrap-based responsive design. The platform demonstrates good digital maturity with mobile optimization, SEO best practices, and moderate performance. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. While explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not clearly detected, no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities are apparent.

Strategic improvements in security headers and accessibility could further enhance its security posture and user experience.

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

5 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

  2. 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';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Footshop holds a strong market position as a leading sneaker retailer in Poland and Europe, leveraging a wide brand portfolio and a comprehensive online store. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a large selection of sneakers and related products, supported by a loyalty program and multi-lingual, multi-country website versions. The business model is primarily retail e-commerce with additional revenue streams from premium and limited edition collections. The company maintains active social media channels to engage customers and drive brand awareness. Growth indicators include extensive product offerings and promotional campaigns. Partnerships with major brands and marketing platforms underpin its ecosystem, while strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining compliance and security to sustain customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. Key strengths include the absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to demonstrate readiness and transparency. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for an e-commerce retailer, but further enhancements in header policies and documented incident response would strengthen resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing incident response and data protection officer contact information to demonstrate compliance and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack utilizing Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Typekit fonts, with a Bootstrap-based responsive design. The presence of Webpack bundles and React-like data attributes suggests a contemporary front-end architecture. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses multiple external analytics and marketing scripts, which should be monitored for performance and security impact. No CMS is explicitly identified, but URL patterns and tokens hint at a custom or Prestashop-based e-commerce platform. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Technical risks include potential dependency on third-party scripts and the absence of some security headers.
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.
