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

Rieker Shoe Corporation USA operates an e-commerce platform specializing in stylish and comfortable footwear, including shoes, boots, sandals, and sneakers. The company is part of Rieker Holding AG, a Swiss entity with a long-standing presence since 2002. The website targets consumers seeking quality and comfort in footwear, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies to deliver a seamless shopping experience. The brand positions itself as a blend of fashion and comfort, catering to a broad audience with diverse footwear needs. Technically, the website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing various third-party tools for marketing, sizing assistance, and analytics. The infrastructure includes Cloudflare DNS and reputable hosting via Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable performance and moderate loading speeds. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are adequately implemented, though accessibility features are basic. The site employs multiple asynchronous scripts for enhanced user engagement and marketing effectiveness. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and several security headers are not explicitly present, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security matters. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with a solid business foundation. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and some security best practices. Addressing these gaps would enhance the site's security posture and regulatory adherence, fostering greater customer trust and reducing potential liabilities.

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

  2. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

Rieker Holding AG operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on footwear products that combine style and comfort. The company benefits from a well-established brand with a history dating back over two decades. Its business model centers on direct-to-consumer online sales via Shopify, supported by a range of marketing and sizing tools to improve customer experience. The target market includes fashion-conscious consumers valuing comfort technology. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers for analytics and marketing but does not publicly disclose partnerships or subsidiaries. The domain registration and hosting arrangements reflect a stable and legitimate operation, supporting growth and market presence in the USA and beyond.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicate incomplete security hardening. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risks if not regularly audited. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no visible policies or consent mechanisms, which is a significant gap given regulatory requirements like GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security issues effectively. Overall, while basic security measures are implemented, there is room for improvement to reach a higher security standard.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve transparency and responsiveness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure secure integrations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging its robust e-commerce infrastructure and CDN hosting. It uses modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance optimization and integrates multiple third-party marketing and sizing tools. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and uses Cloudflare DNS, providing reliable DNS resolution. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through further optimization. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business model but requires enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance to align with best practices.
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.
