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

Handball-Store.it is a specialized e-commerce platform focused on providing handball sports equipment, apparel, and accessories primarily targeting handball players and fans in Italy. The website offers a wide range of products including shoes, balls, clothing, fan merchandise, and fitness equipment. The business operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors and appears to be a medium-sized company founded in 2021. The site is well structured with clear navigation and consistent branding, supporting a professional online retail experience. Technically, the website is built on the Magento (OpenMage) platform and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Ads. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are areas for improvement. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are good, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site implements a consent management platform indicating GDPR awareness, but lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages in the provided content. No direct contact information or incident response contacts are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The domain registration is consistent and transparent, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good content quality and technical implementation but requires enhancements in security headers, privacy documentation, and contact transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. Security headers

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Handball-Store.it occupies a niche market in handball sports retail, offering specialized products that cater to athletes and fans. The business model is direct online retail with a focus on multiple European markets as evidenced by sister domains in various countries. The company leverages affiliate marketing (AWIN) and extensive digital marketing tools to drive traffic and sales. The absence of detailed company legal information and contact details in the visible content suggests potential areas for improving business credibility. The product range and brand partnerships indicate a well-established supplier network and a targeted customer segment interested in handball sports gear and lifestyle products.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a consent management platform in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and absence of explicit privacy and security policies reduce the overall security maturity. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy risks that should be managed carefully. Incident response readiness appears limited due to missing contact channels for security issues. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated but not fully documented.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  4. Provide clear contact information including email and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Magento (OpenMage) e-commerce platform with a modern frontend implementation including preloaded fonts and asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts. The site uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and other profiling tools for marketing and user behavior tracking. Performance is moderate with some optimization evident in script loading and font preloading. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security hardening. The extensive use of third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to avoid performance degradation and security risks.
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.
