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

HOPS.CC is an e-commerce website specializing in custom cycling apparel, offering made-to-order cycling jerseys, bib shorts, and related gear primarily targeting cycling teams and enthusiasts. The business emphasizes European manufacturing with fast delivery and no minimum order quantities, positioning itself as a niche provider in the custom cyclewear market. Technically, the site is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and third-party marketing and analytics tools. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and standard security headers, and the use of hCaptcha for form protection. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies, which impacts privacy compliance scores. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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.

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

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 operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model focused on custom cycling apparel, leveraging Shopify's platform for scalability and ease of management. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free quality design services from single-piece orders and a reorder guarantee, appealing to small teams and individual cyclists. The target market is European cyclists seeking personalized, high-quality gear with quick turnaround times. The business ecosystem includes integrations with quote request apps and marketing pixels, indicating active customer engagement and sales funnel management. Growth potential exists in expanding design services and enhancing customer trust through improved policy disclosures.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes key security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Content-Type-Options, indicating a solid baseline security posture. The use of hCaptcha on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the business to regulatory risks under GDPR and similar frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to foster responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and SEO benefits.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and modern JavaScript libraries including Reqwest for AJAX, Facebook Pixel for marketing, and hCaptcha for bot protection. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and Shopify's infrastructure, ensuring reliable hosting and content delivery. Performance is moderate with deferred and async script loading, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business model, with opportunities to enhance security transparency and compliance.
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.
