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

New Era Cap Australia operates a professional e-commerce website specializing in licensed sports headwear and apparel, targeting sports fans and apparel consumers within Australia. The site is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging a modern tech stack and multiple marketing and analytics integrations to optimize user experience and business operations. The website demonstrates a strong brand presence with official licensing and consistent branding. Technically, the site is well-implemented with fast performance, mobile optimization, and good accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not clearly presented. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for retail businesses and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though improvements in privacy compliance and contact transparency are recommended.

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

4 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

    • 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

  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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mail.neweracap.com.au

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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 business positions itself as the official regional retailer for New Era branded sports headwear and apparel, serving a medium-sized market in Australia. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales of licensed merchandise across multiple sports leagues and collaborations. The company leverages partnerships with major sports leagues and brands, enhancing its competitive advantage. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales, supported by marketing tools and affiliate programs. The website's structure and content indicate a mature digital presence with growth potential through expanded marketing and customer engagement strategies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. Forms are secured by Shopify's platform defaults, and no sensitive data exposure was detected. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is limited by the absence of clear privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to enhance trust and legal compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Create a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear and accessible business contact information including support emails and phone numbers.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing a modern and robust e-commerce platform with integrated analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and Klaviyo. The site demonstrates fast loading times, mobile responsiveness, and good SEO practices. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The technical infrastructure is well-maintained with CDN hosting and secure HTTPS configuration. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and security transparency, which would strengthen the overall technical maturity and user trust.
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.
