75/100

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

Pedal Revolution is a UK-based specialist retailer focused on performance road, mountain, carbon, and titanium bicycles and related cycling equipment. The company operates an e-commerce platform offering a wide range of bikes, frames, and accessories, targeting cycling enthusiasts primarily in the UK. The website demonstrates a solid market position with clear navigation, multiple product categories, and additional services such as Click & Collect and finance options like Cyclescheme. Structured data and trust badges like Google Certified Shops enhance credibility. Technically, the website uses a combination of ASP.NET WebForms and modern JavaScript libraries, integrating Google Analytics (GA4), Bing UET, Hotjar, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Security posture is good with enforced HTTPS and consent management for cookies, but lacks explicit security headers such as CSP and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is evident with a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional e-commerce platform with a moderate to high security posture. The lack of WHOIS data for the subdomain is expected and does not detract from legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, improving accessibility, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain security 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Pedal Revolution operates as a medium-sized retail business specializing in cycling products, serving a niche market of performance bike enthusiasts in the UK. The business model centers on direct online sales complemented by physical store services such as Click & Collect. The company leverages finance schemes to broaden customer reach. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized product offerings including titanium and carbon bikes, and a strong brand presence supported by consistent branding and trust signals. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains and recognized certifications. Growth indicators include active marketing and analytics integration, though no explicit financial data is available. The company maintains a professional digital presence with clear contact channels and customer engagement features.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. The use of multiple analytics and marketing scripts is managed with consent updates stored in localStorage. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement to mitigate risks such as clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No signs of exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is common for retail sites but could be enhanced for transparency. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Conduct regular third-party script audits to ensure no vulnerable or malicious code is included.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with extensive use of JavaScript for dynamic content and user interaction. It integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics GA4, Bing UET, Hotjar, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and rich snippets, improving search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize user experience. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. The platform appears custom-built or proprietary, with no common CMS detected. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
