Risk levelLow

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

World Aquatics operates an e-commerce platform specializing in aquatic-related apparel, accessories, and swim essentials. The website presents itself as an official licensed product store with a clear focus on aquatic sports enthusiasts. The business model is retail-oriented, leveraging the Cafe24 platform for its online presence. Market positioning appears to be niche within aquatic merchandise, targeting consumers interested in water sports and related lifestyle products. The site branding is consistent and professional, though lacking explicit business contact details and comprehensive policy disclosures.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

  3. 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 DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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 company targets a specialized segment within the e-commerce sector, focusing on aquatic sports apparel and accessories. The use of Cafe24 indicates reliance on a third-party e-commerce platform, which may limit customization but provides robust infrastructure. The absence of detailed company registration or contact information may impact customer trust. The partnership with domains like waqua.shop suggests multi-domain branding strategies. Growth potential depends on expanding product lines and improving transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses basic security headers such as cache control directives. However, it lacks advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not enable DNSSEC, which could improve domain security. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies was found, indicating a potential gap in security governance. The suspicious WHOIS data with a future creation date raises concerns about domain legitimacy or data accuracy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information.
  5. Verify and correct WHOIS domain registration data to improve legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Cafe24 e-commerce platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries including Google Tag Manager and Swiper.js for UI components. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting is provided by Cafe24, a known e-commerce hosting provider. The site uses canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata for social sharing. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve policy disclosures for better compliance and trust.
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.
