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

House of Rugby is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on rugby apparel, footwear, and equipment, primarily serving the French market and French-speaking rugby enthusiasts. The website offers a broad catalog of official club products, shoes, and accessories from major brands, positioning itself as a niche market leader with a strong emphasis on secure payment and customer service. The business is relatively new, founded in 2022, and operates with a medium-sized footprint in the retail sector. Technically, the website is built on modern technologies including SvelteKit and is hosted behind Cloudflare, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. The site integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel, with a compliant consent management platform to adhere to GDPR requirements. The design is professional and user-friendly, with clear navigation and good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes standard security headers. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities in the visible content. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is strong for an e-commerce retailer. The overall risk assessment is low, with no critical issues detected. Strategic recommendations include publishing a formal security policy, adding incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures. These steps would further strengthen compliance and security culture. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good privacy compliance and business credibility.

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

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

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 as a niche e-commerce retailer specializing in rugby-related products, targeting rugby players and fans primarily in France. The company leverages partnerships with multiple related retail stores, expanding its market reach. Its business model focuses on online sales with secure payment options and customer support based in France. The presence of multiple brand partnerships and a comprehensive product catalog indicates a well-established supply chain and market positioning. The company is relatively young but shows growth potential through digital marketing and affiliate programs. The strategic use of social media and customer reviews enhances brand trust and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. The use of Cloudflare provides additional protection and performance benefits. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact points to areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. The integration of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for e-commerce operations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form input validation and monitoring to prevent potential injection or abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using SvelteKit, a modern JavaScript framework, ensuring a performant and reactive user experience. Hosting via Cloudflare provides CDN benefits and security features. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, integrated with a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. The technical implementation reflects a modern, well-maintained infrastructure with good SEO and accessibility practices. No legacy or vulnerable technologies were detected, indicating low technical debt and good modernization.
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.
