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

House of Rugby is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on rugby sportswear, official club products, shoes, and equipment. The website targets rugby players, fans, and sports enthusiasts primarily in Austria and German-speaking regions, offering a wide range of products from well-known brands. The business model centers on online retail with a comprehensive catalog and brand partnerships. The site demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, with a professional design and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on Magento (OpenMage), leveraging modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and reCAPTCHA for marketing, analytics, and security. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure communication. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and reCAPTCHA, and integrates a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. However, explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security policies are not found, which reduces transparency and compliance confidence. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain uses privacy protection for WHOIS data, which is common and justified for this business type. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good business credibility but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and providing direct contact information 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

  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

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

House of Rugby operates in the niche retail sector of rugby sportswear and equipment, serving a specialized market segment. Its competitive advantage lies in offering official club products and a broad selection of rugby-related gear from multiple brands. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging online marketing and analytics tools to drive sales. The presence of multiple product categories and brands indicates a well-developed partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include frequent new product listings and promotions. The company targets rugby players, clubs, and fans, focusing on quality and official merchandise. Strategic observations suggest potential for expansion in digital marketing and enhanced customer engagement through improved privacy and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA implemented to mitigate automated abuse. The integration of a consent management platform indicates awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response information represents compliance gaps. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are missing, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento (OpenMage), a widely used e-commerce platform, indicating a mature infrastructure. It uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and reCAPTCHA for analytics, marketing, and security. The site loads CSS and fonts efficiently with preload hints and uses slick carousel for interactive sliders. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in image optimization and caching. The technical stack is solid but could benefit from modernization in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
