Shrewd Archery · E-commerce · United States

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Shrewd Archery operates as a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on archery equipment and accessories, including limited edition patriotic-themed products supporting charitable causes. The company targets archery enthusiasts and hunters primarily in the United States. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and providing a responsive, user-friendly shopping experience. While the site demonstrates good technical maturity and security practices such as HTTPS and CAPTCHA protection, it lacks visible privacy and terms of service policies and does not provide explicit contact information, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain transparency and trustworthiness, although the Shopify hosting and social media presence support legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional, secure, and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced compliance and transparency measures.

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.

  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. 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

  • 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 business is positioned as a niche e-commerce retailer with a focus on archery and hunting gear, including branded and limited edition products. Its business model is direct-to-consumer online sales with promotional campaigns such as discount codes and seasonal sales. The company leverages Shopify's ecosystem for payment processing and marketing integrations. Social media channels are actively linked, supporting brand engagement. The lack of detailed corporate information and contact data suggests a small to medium-sized enterprise with a focus on product sales rather than corporate transparency. The charitable aspect of proceeds indicates community engagement and brand differentiation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, which could be improved to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent banner supports privacy compliance, but the absence of a privacy policy and incident response contacts limits full compliance with GDPR and other regulations. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced with better policy disclosures and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and prominently link a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Impact theme, employing modern JavaScript modules and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. It uses Shopify's CDN for hosting and assets delivery, ensuring fast performance and global availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp integrations. The technical implementation is robust and follows e-commerce best practices, though improvements in security header implementation and privacy disclosures are recommended to reduce technical debt and compliance risks.
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.
