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

Handball-Store.pt is a specialized e-commerce platform focused on retailing handball sports equipment, including shoes, balls, clothing, and accessories. The website targets handball players and enthusiasts primarily in Portugal and other European markets, supported by sister sites in multiple countries. The business model is retail-oriented with a strong online presence and multi-lingual support, positioning itself as a niche market leader in handball equipment. The site demonstrates good content quality, clear navigation, and consistent branding, enhancing user experience and trust. Technically, the website is built on the Magento (OpenMage) platform, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, AWIN affiliate tracking, and Actito marketing automation. The site employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, alongside GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are well implemented, though accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows a mature posture with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the HTML content. It uses reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot activity and enforces secure connections. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response information is a gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, Handball-Store.pt presents a low-risk profile with a solid business foundation and good technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility compliance, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts. These steps will further strengthen the site's security posture and user trust.

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.

  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

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.pt operates as a medium-sized retail e-commerce business specializing in handball sports equipment. Its competitive advantage lies in its niche focus, multi-country presence, and comprehensive product catalog spanning shoes, balls, clothing, and accessories. The business model is direct online sales supported by marketing automation and affiliate programs. Target customers are handball players, clubs, and fans across Europe. Growth indicators include multi-lingual sites and active promotions. The partnership ecosystem includes AWIN for affiliate marketing and Google services for analytics and advertising. The company maintains consistent branding and a professional online presence, supporting a strong market position in the handball retail segment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. Use of Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from automated abuse. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact reduces transparency. Absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits external security collaboration. Overall, the site is secure for e-commerce operations but could improve by publishing formal security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add an incident response contact or page to facilitate reporting and handling of security incidents.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento (OpenMage), a mature e-commerce platform, with a frontend optimized for multi-lingual and multi-country use. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and affiliate tracking via AWIN indicates a sophisticated marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good, supporting responsive search and navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance.
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.
