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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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

The business operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically firearms production, with Glenfield as one of its brands alongside Ruger and Marlin. The company targets hunters and outdoor sports consumers, leveraging its longstanding reputation in the firearms industry. The business model centers on manufacturing and retail partnerships, with an e-commerce presence via partner sites. The company maintains a strong brand ecosystem and social media engagement. Growth is supported by diversified product lines and a focus on reliability and affordability. The website supports customer engagement through product registration, manuals, and support services, reinforcing customer loyalty and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied by external resources and an age verification mechanism to restrict underage access. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of visible security headers, and no cookie consent banner indicate gaps in security best practices and privacy compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the provided content. Overall, security is adequate but could benefit from enhancements in headers, DNS security, and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly stating data retention policies and providing contact information for data protection inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but relatively simple technology stack including jQuery 3.5.1, Bootstrap for responsive design, and SweetAlert2 for user interface modals. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile optimized and has good navigation clarity. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. The domain is registered with Network Solutions, but hosting provider details are not explicit. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a marketing and informational site but could be modernized with enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
