Risk levelHigh

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

The website hosports.eu operates as an e-commerce platform specializing in sports and boating equipment, targeting enthusiasts in water sports, fishing, and related outdoor activities. The platform offers a broad catalogue of products including water sports gear, fishing equipment, knives, clothing, sunglasses, boat engines, oils, and lubricants. The business model is retail-focused with an online shopping cart and promotional discounts. The website appears to be a small-sized regional retailer with a niche market position in Lithuania or nearby regions. Technically, the website uses older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.4 and the deprecated Google Analytics ga.js script, indicating a legacy technology stack. Hosting is likely provided by Contabo, and the site uses HTTPS as indicated by the base href. The site lacks modern security headers and advanced privacy or cookie consent mechanisms. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO practices are minimal but functional. From a security perspective, the site has moderate risks due to outdated libraries and missing security headers. No explicit privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact emails or phone numbers are visible, which impacts trust and compliance. Google Analytics is used without visible consent mechanisms, raising privacy compliance concerns. The WHOIS data shows the domain is registered by Kauno technologijos universitetas, a Lithuanian university, which is somewhat inconsistent with the commercial retail nature of the site but not suspicious. Overall, the website is functional but basic, with moderate security and privacy posture. It is safe for general audiences with no adult content. Strategic improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance trust and reduce risks.

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

11 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

  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.

    • 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  4. 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

Hosports.eu operates in the retail sector focusing on sports and boating equipment. Its competitive advantage lies in a specialized product catalogue catering to water sports and fishing enthusiasts. The business model is direct online retail with product promotions and a shopping cart system. The target customers are regional sports and outdoor activity consumers. The site shows moderate digital maturity but lacks advanced marketing or trust signals such as certifications or customer testimonials. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the data. Growth potential exists through technical upgrades and improved privacy/security compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate with notable gaps. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. Absence of security headers and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided. Data protection practices are minimal, and tracking is implemented without consent mechanisms. The site would benefit from upgrading libraries, implementing security headers, establishing privacy policies, and enhancing user data protection to reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries to current stable versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Modernize analytics implementation to use current Google Analytics libraries and ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or unknown CMS platform using legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.4 and Fancybox 1.3.1. Google Analytics is implemented via the deprecated ga.js script. Hosting is likely with Contabo. The site uses HTTPS but lacks modern security headers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is minimal with basic meta tags. The site structure is simple with clear navigation but outdated technical components indicate technical debt and modernization opportunities.
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.
