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

PDGA Pro Shop is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on disc golf products, including discs, apparel, accessories, and tournament director player packs. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, providing a modern and responsive shopping experience targeted at disc golf enthusiasts and tournament organizers primarily in the United States. The business positions itself as a niche market leader within the disc golf community, leveraging official PDGA branding and social media channels to enhance credibility and reach. Technically, the site employs a robust Shopify infrastructure with CDN hosting, modern JavaScript, and CSS frameworks. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by structured data and proper meta tags. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, standard security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response information, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is addressed through a visible cookie consent banner and a privacy policy page that indicates GDPR awareness. Contact information is limited to a contact form without explicit email or phone contacts. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of business credibility, technical implementation, and security hygiene, suitable for a small to medium-sized e-commerce operation. Strategic recommendations include publishing a formal security policy, adding incident response contacts, enhancing accessibility, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

1 finding 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 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 PDGA Pro Shop operates in a niche e-commerce sector serving disc golf players and tournament directors. Its competitive advantage lies in official PDGA affiliation and specialized product offerings such as fundraising discs and bulk player packs. The business model is direct online retail with a focus on community engagement via social media. Revenue streams are primarily product sales with potential for event-related merchandise. The company targets a specialized but growing market segment, indicating potential for steady growth. Partnerships appear limited to platform providers like Shopify and social media channels. The website content and structure reflect a professional approach to retail with clear navigation and product categorization.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with privacy regulations, though the absence of a published security policy and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No evidence of malware or phishing was found. The site benefits from Shopify's underlying security infrastructure but should consider formalizing its security governance and vulnerability disclosure to enhance resilience and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript modules, CSS custom properties, and responsive design techniques. Hosting is provided by Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable performance and global availability. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration via Open Graph and Twitter cards. Performance is moderate with deferred and async script loading to optimize page speed. Accessibility features are basic but present, such as skip links and ARIA roles. The technical stack is well-maintained with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected in the source. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and add more comprehensive privacy and security disclosures.
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.
