Security report for maier-sports.com

Maier Sports ® · Retail · Germany

Medium risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and Network security.

Security score

71/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Maier Sports is a German-based outdoor clothing retailer specializing in apparel for hiking, trekking, and skiing with a focus on perfect fit for men and women. The company operates a professional e-commerce platform powered by Shopware, offering a range of products including pants, jackets, and accessories. The website demonstrates good digital maturity with modern technologies, mobile optimization, and accessibility features. Social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube supports brand engagement. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data and lack of explicit privacy and terms of service pages slightly reduce trustworthiness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but could be improved by adding security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy.

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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

Maier Sports positions itself as a specialized outdoor apparel brand with a sustainable and quality focus, targeting outdoor enthusiasts in Germany and surrounding markets. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce retail. The company leverages modern e-commerce technology and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Matomo. The lack of visible company contact details and registration information online suggests a need for improved transparency. The brand maintains active social media channels to engage customers and promote products. Overall, the company appears to be a medium-sized retail business with a solid market presence in the outdoor clothing sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent management, indicating compliance with basic privacy regulations. CAPTCHA integration helps mitigate automated abuse. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers, publishing security policies, and improving transparency around incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add standard security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including phone numbers and email addresses for customer support and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Shopware CMS, a modern e-commerce platform, combined with various JavaScript libraries and services including Google Tag Manager, UserCentrics for consent management, Friendly Captcha, and Matomo analytics. Images are lazy-loaded for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes. Performance appears moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and security header implementation. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more transparent business information.
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.
