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

Maudesport is a UK-based supplier specializing in sports and physical education equipment for schools, colleges, and leisure centers. The company operates an e-commerce platform built on Magento, offering a wide range of products tailored to educational and leisure markets. Their website demonstrates a professional design with good navigation, mobile optimization, and relevant content targeting their core audience effectively. The business appears to be a medium-sized entity focused on the education and retail sectors within the UK. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Magento Commerce, RequireJS, jQuery, and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. The site is served over HTTPS with appropriate security headers, indicating a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies are in place, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. Security-wise, while the site enforces HTTPS and uses standard security headers, it lacks publicly available security policies or incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which is unusual and reduces the trust score somewhat, but the website content and infrastructure suggest legitimacy. Overall, Maudesport presents a solid online presence with good technical and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in publishing security policies and clarifying domain registration details would further strengthen their security posture 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

3 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

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

Maudesport holds a strong position as a specialized supplier in the UK education and leisure sports equipment market. Their business model centers on B2B and B2C e-commerce, targeting schools, colleges, and leisure centers. The company benefits from a focused product range and established market presence. Integration with marketing platforms like HubSpot indicates active customer engagement and lead generation efforts. The website's structured navigation and product categorization support user experience and sales conversion. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The absence of explicit company registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper corporate intelligence. Overall, the company appears stable with growth potential in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR compliance, indicating attention to data protection. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. The WHOIS data anomaly is a concern, as it suggests the domain may be a subdomain or alias rather than a fully registered domain, which could pose risks if not properly managed. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive information were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing security governance documents and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS domain naming rules error to ensure domain registration transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility compliance to improve inclusivity.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to foster responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento Commerce, utilizing RequireJS for module loading and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates HubSpot for marketing automation and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. The site uses modern web fonts and preloads key assets for performance optimization. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is mature and suitable for e-commerce, though some legacy JavaScript libraries like jQuery remain in use. There is opportunity to modernize further by adopting newer frameworks and enhancing accessibility standards.
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.
