Risk levelHigh

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

SOL REPUBLIC is a consumer audio brand presenting itself as 'Soldiers of Sound' with a focus on retailing audio products and providing customer support. The website offers basic contact information including a physical address in Commerce Township, MI, a phone number, and an email contact form. The site is modest in content and design, primarily serving as a support and brand presence portal. Technically, the website uses jQuery 3.6.0, Google Analytics for tracking, and a third-party form plugin (Halfdata Green Forms). The site is mobile responsive and uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers and comprehensive privacy or cookie policies. SEO and accessibility features are basic, and performance is moderate. From a security perspective, the site shows no immediate vulnerabilities but lacks important security best practices such as security headers and explicit privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy and reduces overall trustworthiness. No evidence of WAF or blocking mechanisms was found, indicating full accessibility. Overall, the website is functional for its purpose but requires improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency to enhance trust and professionalism.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SOL REPUBLIC operates in the retail sector specializing in consumer audio products. The brand targets general consumers interested in audio equipment and positions itself as a recognizable audio brand. The business model centers on product sales and customer support. The website content and contact details suggest a medium-sized operation based in the United States. There is no evidence of parent companies or subsidiaries from the provided data. The company leverages Google Analytics for user tracking but lacks visible privacy or cookie policies, which may impact customer trust. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable risk factor in business credibility. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand identity but could benefit from enhanced digital maturity and compliance measures.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks documented incident response or security policies, and no GDPR or data protection officer information is present. The use of Google Analytics without visible privacy compliance mechanisms suggests potential gaps in data protection practices. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the site should improve security headers, privacy policies, and domain registration transparency to strengthen its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.
  5. Establish and communicate an incident response policy and security contact channels to demonstrate security readiness.

Key observations

  1. Website is accessible and not blocked by WAF.
  2. WHOIS data is missing, indicating possible domain registration issues.
  3. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found on the site.
  4. Contact information is clearly provided including phone, physical address, and email form.
  5. Use of Google Analytics for tracking without visible privacy compliance.
  6. Basic website design and content quality with limited SEO and accessibility features.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with jQuery 3.6.0, Google Analytics, and a third-party form plugin. The HTML is valid and includes proper meta tags for viewport and SEO basics. The site loads external CSS and JavaScript resources from trusted CDNs and domains. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good due to viewport settings and responsive design elements. However, the site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS detection, indicating a custom or minimal platform. There is no evidence of modern frontend frameworks or backend technologies. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data provided.
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.
