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

Smash-Expert is a specialized e-commerce retailer focused on racket sports equipment including tennis, padel, badminton, table tennis, and squash. The website offers a broad catalog of products from multiple well-known brands, targeting sports enthusiasts and athletes primarily in Switzerland. The business model is retail-oriented with emphasis on fast delivery and secure payment options. Technically, the website is built on the Magento (OpenMage) platform, leveraging modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Actito marketing automation, with consent management implemented via the IAB TCF framework. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking explicit privacy and cookie policies in the visible content. Overall, the site is professional, well-structured, and trustworthy, but could enhance transparency and compliance documentation.

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 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 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. 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

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 positions itself as a niche specialist in racket sports retail, offering a wide range of products and brands to a targeted audience of racket sports players and clubs. The business benefits from a clear market focus and a comprehensive product catalog, which supports customer retention and acquisition. The use of marketing automation and analytics indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The absence of explicit privacy and terms documentation may pose compliance risks. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, suggesting a focused and legitimate business operation. Growth potential exists through enhanced compliance and expanded contact transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and consent management aligned with GDPR via the IAB TCF framework. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the overall security maturity. Security headers beyond Content-Type and origin-trial are not evident, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site should improve security documentation and implement additional HTTP security headers to strengthen defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add terms of service to clarify user rights and obligations.
  3. Include clear contact information such as company email addresses and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Implement additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Create and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Magento (OpenMage) as its CMS, which is a robust e-commerce platform. It employs modern web fonts, asynchronous loading of analytics and advertising scripts, and preloading of key assets to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive search and navigation elements. Consent management is implemented using the IAB TCF v2 framework, indicating compliance efforts for GDPR. The presence of multiple Google services and Actito marketing automation shows a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features and SEO metadata completeness. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected.
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.
