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
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

Weak Protocols Supported
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company positions itself as a technology innovator in the equestrian sports market, leveraging smart devices to enhance training outcomes. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, supported by Shopify's robust infrastructure. The presence of customer reviews and marketing integrations indicates a focus on customer engagement and conversion optimization. The domain registration aligns with the business launch timeline, supporting legitimacy. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The marketing ecosystem includes affiliate programs and retargeting, suggesting active growth strategies.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain transfer lock, providing baseline security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be a potential risk vector. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which increases the attack surface but are standard for e-commerce. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security policy, and implementing Content-Security-Policy headers to enhance security posture.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Implement Content-Security-Policy HTTP headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Shopify, leveraging its CDN and e-commerce capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Judge.me. The Shrine PRO theme provides a responsive and visually appealing design. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical infrastructure is solid for a small e-commerce business but should focus on security header enhancements and DNS security improvements.
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.
