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

Gerber Gear is a well-established brand specializing in knives, multi-tools, cutting tools, and outdoor gear, targeting hunters, soldiers, tradesmen, and outdoor enthusiasts. The company operates a professional e-commerce platform with a strong market position supported by its parent company, Fiskars Corporation. The website demonstrates good content quality, clear navigation, and consistent branding, catering effectively to its target audience. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, marketing automation tools like Exponea, and comprehensive analytics via Datadog and Google Analytics.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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

Gerber Gear benefits from its association with Fiskars Corporation, leveraging a strong brand legacy since 1939. The business model focuses on direct retail sales through an e-commerce platform, offering both standard and customizable products. The company targets niche segments such as hunters and tradesmen, providing specialized tools and gear. The website integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and conversion. While the site lacks explicit certifications or security policies, it maintains a professional online presence with clear product categorization and customer support via contact forms. The partnership ecosystem includes Fiskars and related brands, enhancing market reach and operational stability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent framework compliant with GDPR. The use of OneTrust for consent management and Datadog for real user monitoring indicates a focus on privacy and performance monitoring. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, CSS, and HTML5, with integrations for marketing automation (Exponea), analytics (Datadog, Google Analytics), and cookie consent management (OneTrust). The site appears to be hosted on a robust infrastructure with CDN usage for performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The technical stack is well maintained, but opportunities exist for modernization and enhanced security documentation to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
