Risk levelMedium

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

Goalrilla Australia operates a professional e-commerce website specializing in basketball hoops and related accessories. The company positions itself as a leading Australian brand with over 30 years of experience and offers products backed by lifetime warranties. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrations such as Judge.me for customer reviews and Google/Facebook for analytics and marketing. The technical infrastructure is solid, with Cloudflare DNS and Shopify hosting ensuring reliable performance and security. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as formal security and incident response disclosures, which are important for compliance and trust. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and user experience but could improve its privacy and security transparency.

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

4 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.

    • 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

  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
    • 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

The business targets basketball enthusiasts and homeowners in Australia seeking durable basketball systems. Its market position is strong within the niche, supported by lifetime warranties and endorsements from reputable media outlets. The e-commerce model is direct-to-consumer via Shopify, with a focus on product quality and customer satisfaction. The presence of multiple product lines and accessories indicates a diversified offering. The company leverages third-party services for reviews and analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. No direct contact information or detailed corporate data is publicly visible, which may limit direct customer engagement channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable hosting and DNS providers, which provides a good baseline security posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response plans indicate room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which are recommended best practices. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with better transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using a custom theme named Megaphone. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and integrates third-party services such as Judge.me for reviews and Google/Facebook for analytics and marketing. Hosting is via Shopify CDN with DNS managed by Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses preloading and asynchronous script loading to improve performance. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated libraries, but security headers could be improved.
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.
