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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

The store operates within the sports merchandise retail sector, capitalizing on the Newcastle Jets brand to attract a niche audience of soccer fans. Its competitive advantage lies in its official licensing and exclusive product offerings. The business appears small in size but well-positioned within its market segment. The presence of social media links and promotional banners indicates active marketing efforts. The use of passcode locks for certain content suggests targeted access for specific customer groups or promotions. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates secure payment gateways, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap especially under GDPR. Incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, limiting transparency in security management. The use of passcode locks for exclusive content is a good practice for access control. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better policy disclosures and header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It uses Shopify's CDN for hosting and integrates various Shopify extensions and apps for enhanced functionality such as B2B locks and countdown timers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical infrastructure is solid for an e-commerce site of this scale but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
