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

House of Rugby is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on rugby apparel, equipment, and accessories, primarily targeting rugby players and fans in Portugal and possibly French-speaking markets. The website offers official club products, rugby shirts, shoes, and protective gear from well-known brands. The business operates a Magento-based platform with a professional and consistent branding approach. Technically, the site uses modern tracking and advertising technologies including Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Actito for marketing automation. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a consent mechanism present but no visible privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the site appears legitimate and trustworthy but could improve 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.

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

8 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

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 positions itself as a niche retailer in the rugby sports retail sector, offering a wide range of products including national teams, clubs, and lifestyle apparel. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a focus on official and branded merchandise. The target audience includes rugby enthusiasts and players, with product categories for adults and children. The presence of multiple language versions and country-specific domains suggests a multi-national market approach. The company leverages partnerships with major sports brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Gilbert. Growth indicators include a broad product catalog and active promotions. The lack of explicit company registration or contact details online may limit some trust factors but is common in online retail.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Consent management for GDPR is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense in depth. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is evident. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site would benefit from publishing security policies and improving header configurations to enhance security posture and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including customer support and incident response contacts.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure compliance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and Actito marketing tools. The site uses slick slider for UI components and loads fonts with preload for performance. The site is mobile responsive and includes basic accessibility features such as labels on search inputs. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading of images. SEO is supported with meta tags and hreflang links for multi-language support. The technical stack is modern but could improve with enhanced security headers and more comprehensive accessibility features.
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.
