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

2 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Lacoste operates in the retail sector with an enterprise-sized footprint and a strong global brand presence. Their business model centers on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales of fashion apparel and accessories. The website targets fashion-conscious consumers worldwide, offering localized content and multiple language options. The use of advanced e-commerce platforms and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and marketing. Partnerships with consent management and performance monitoring providers reflect compliance and operational maturity. The absence of visible contact details and explicit privacy policies suggests potential areas for enhancing customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and consent management implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. The site uses modern analytics and tracking technologies, which require robust privacy controls. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by publishing comprehensive security and privacy documentation and providing clear channels for security incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  3. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Review and update the meta robots tag to allow search engine indexing for better SEO performance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and ARIA labeling to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, utilizing a modern JavaScript stack with polyfills and modular scripts for performance and compatibility. It integrates third-party services such as Didomi for consent management, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Boomerang for performance monitoring. The site is optimized for mobile devices and employs preconnect and preload hints to improve loading times. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, enhancing global delivery and security. The technical implementation is robust, with good performance and accessibility practices, though SEO could be improved by adjusting meta tags and increasing content discoverability.
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.
