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

SHOEI CO., LTD. is a globally recognized premium motorcycle helmet manufacturer with a strong market presence and a network of regional distributors worldwide. The website serves as a hub for worldwide distributor contacts and product information tailored to regional markets. The company targets motorcycle riders and distributors, emphasizing safety, design, and performance in its product offerings. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools, including Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and Line Tag, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and professional design, though it lacks some privacy and security policy disclosures. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but the absence of security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract from the professional presentation and legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and functional, with recommendations to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

SHOEI operates in the transportation sector, focusing on premium motorcycle helmets. Its business model relies on manufacturing and distributing through a global network of regional partners, as evidenced by detailed distributor contacts across Asia, Europe, Americas, and Oceania. The company leverages partnerships to maintain market reach and customer support. The website content and linked domains reinforce SHOEI's premium brand positioning and global footprint. The absence of direct e-commerce suggests a B2B and distributor-focused sales channel. The use of multiple tracking and marketing tools indicates active digital marketing efforts. The company appears large and established, though no founding year or parent company information is provided. The business intelligence points to a stable, well-branded company with a clear focus on quality and safety in the motorcycle helmet market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. Tracking scripts and marketing tags are present but no explicit cookie consent or privacy policy is found, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate with strengths in encryption and weaknesses in policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based tech stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, iziModal, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, and Line Tag. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph). The site is mobile-optimized and provides a clear navigation structure with regional distributor segmentation. No CMS or hosting provider information is detected. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No forms are present on the main page, reducing attack surface for input-based vulnerabilities. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header 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.
