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

Giro Sport Design is a well-established company specializing in designing and selling cycling and snow sports gear, operating since 1985 from Santa Cruz, California. The website serves as an e-commerce platform offering a wide range of products including helmets, shoes, apparel, gloves, socks, goggles, and accessories for men, women, and kids. Giro targets enthusiasts in cycling and snow sports markets, maintaining a consistent and professional brand presence online. Technically, the website is built on the Salesforce Commerce Cloud platform (Demandware) and leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Yotpo for reviews, and Signifyd for fraud protection. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, with good performance metrics. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring a comprehensive privacy policy, cookie consent via OneTrust, and GDPR adherence. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and security headers such as Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Third-party integrations for fraud prevention and analytics are present, though no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. The absence of WHOIS data suggests domain privacy protection, which is justified for this business type. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Overall, Giro.com presents a secure, professional, and user-friendly e-commerce experience with strong privacy and compliance measures. Recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program to further enhance trust and 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

2 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

  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

Giro holds a strong market position in the niche of cycling and snow sports equipment, leveraging decades of brand heritage since 1985. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales, supported by a comprehensive product catalog segmented by gender and age groups. The company benefits from partnerships with reputable third-party service providers for analytics, marketing, and fraud prevention, indicating a mature digital marketing ecosystem. The website's content and navigation are designed to cater to enthusiasts and athletes, supporting customer engagement and conversion. Growth indicators include active promotions, seasonal sales, and a well-maintained news and innovation section. The absence of direct contact details on the site suggests a focus on online sales channels rather than direct customer service via phone or email.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, strong SSL configuration, and multiple security headers implemented. The integration of Signifyd indicates proactive fraud detection measures. Privacy compliance is well addressed with OneTrust cookie consent and a detailed privacy policy. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact trust for security-conscious users. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing explicit security and incident response information to improve its security maturity and compliance with emerging regulations such as NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance contact information availability with verified company emails and phone numbers.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud (Demandware), utilizing a modern JavaScript stack with jQuery and asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts. It employs Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for data collection and user behavior tracking, alongside Yotpo for customer reviews and Signifyd for fraud protection. The site is mobile responsive with preloading of fonts and assets to optimize performance. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical links. The site uses OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in asset loading and script management. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but likely aligned with Salesforce Commerce Cloud infrastructure.
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.
