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

House of Rugby is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on rugby apparel, equipment, and lifestyle products primarily targeting rugby players and fans in Spain and Europe. The website offers a broad catalog of rugby jerseys, boots, protective gear, and branded lifestyle clothing from well-known sports brands. The business model is retail-oriented with an emphasis on niche sportswear. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a professional design tailored to its target audience. Technically, the website is built on a Magento/OpenMage platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Ads, and reCAPTCHA for security and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with standard e-commerce functionalities. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to prevent abuse. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie consent mechanism with GDPR features, but no dedicated privacy or terms of service pages were found. No contact information or business registration details are publicly available, which may impact trust. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with no critical security issues detected. Strategic improvements in transparency, privacy policy publication, and security header implementation would enhance trust and compliance. The domain uses privacy protection typical for small retail businesses, with no suspicious indicators found.

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

  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

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 occupies a niche market in rugby sportswear retail, leveraging official club merchandise and recognized brands to attract rugby enthusiasts. Its competitive advantage lies in specialization and a curated product range. The business targets individual consumers and clubs, offering promotions, gift cards, and fast shipping options. The presence of multiple language versions indicates a strategy to serve broader European markets. Revenue streams are primarily from direct online sales. The partnership ecosystem includes major sports brands and marketing platforms like Actito. Growth potential exists through expanding product lines and enhancing digital marketing. Operationally, the company appears small with limited public business information. The lack of visible contact details and corporate data suggests a focus on online retail rather than corporate transparency. This may affect customer trust and regulatory compliance in some jurisdictions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to mitigate automated abuse. The presence of a consent management platform indicates awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness visibility. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and terms of service documentation and lack of incident response contact channels. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to improve security culture and customer confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including customer support and security incident response channels.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento/OpenMage, a widely used e-commerce platform, indicating a mature infrastructure for online retail. It uses modern fonts, responsive design, and JavaScript libraries like Slick carousel for UI components. Integration with Google Analytics and Google Ads supports marketing and analytics needs. The presence of Actito scripts suggests use of advanced marketing automation. Performance is moderate, with preloaded fonts and optimized images. However, some images show lazy loading errors, indicating potential asset loading issues. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and labels. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved asset management.
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.
