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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

Malbon Golf's market positioning as a premium golf apparel brand is supported by its consistent branding and professional website design. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, utilizing Shopify's robust platform and integrating with marketing tools such as Klaviyo and Rebuy for personalized customer engagement. The absence of explicit contact information and policies on the main page suggests potential areas for improvement in customer trust and compliance. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a focus on lifestyle branding and niche market penetration.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of explicit security headers reduce the overall security maturity. The extensive use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels increases the attack surface and privacy risks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which may impact compliance and trust. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, and publishing clear security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  4. Add visible contact information and security incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and reduce unnecessary tracking to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing a modern tech stack with integrations for marketing, analytics, and customer support. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses custom fonts and advanced UI components for a premium user experience. However, technical debt is indicated by missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. The extensive third-party script usage requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility compliance further.
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.
