Golf and co is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on golf equipment and accessories, offering a wide range of products including clubs, balls, trolleys, shoes, clothing, gloves, and watches. The company targets golf enthusiasts primarily in France and other international markets with localized websites. Their business model centers on online retail with secure payment options and customer service support based in France. The website demonstrates a professional design with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as SvelteKit, is hosted behind Cloudflare, and integrates Google Analytics and a consent management platform to ensure privacy compliance. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers could be improved. Overall, the site is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and provides clear contact information, but lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts.

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

6 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. 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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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 company positions itself as a specialist golf equipment retailer with a medium-sized operation, founded recently in 2025. It leverages partnerships with multiple related retail stores and offers a broad catalog of well-known golf brands. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales with additional trust signals such as secure payment badges and installment payment options. The target customer segment is golf players and enthusiasts seeking quality equipment at competitive prices. The presence of multiple localized domains indicates a strategy for international market penetration. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear customer service channels and return policies, supporting customer trust and retention.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections such as clientTransferProhibited status. Cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms are implemented effectively. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some common security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options represent minor gaps. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder transparency and readiness in case of security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to harden browser security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including SvelteKit, with a modular JavaScript architecture and asynchronous script loading for performance. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking, integrated with a consent management platform to respect user privacy. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS like WordPress or Magento was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with efficient asset loading. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and semantic markup.
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.
