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

Sportson International Oy operates a Finnish e-commerce platform specializing in tennis, padel, and badminton sports equipment and apparel. Founded in 1982, the company has established itself as a leading sports wholesale and retail business in Finland, representing notable brands such as Babolat and Fila. The website serves both B2C and B2B customers, offering a comprehensive product range with fast delivery and free shipping over certain order values. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, FontAwesome icons, Google Fonts, and integrates Klarna for payment processing. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with structured data enhancing search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and no visible cookie consent mechanism is present, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR as evidenced by a comprehensive privacy policy. The domain registration data aligns well with the business identity, supporting legitimacy. Strategic improvements in security headers and privacy consent would enhance the security posture and compliance further.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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"

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

Business profile

Sportson International Oy holds a strong market position in the Finnish sports retail sector, focusing on racket sports and related apparel. Their business model combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce with B2B wholesale, leveraging brand partnerships with Babolat and Fila. The company targets sports enthusiasts and retailers in Finland and the Åland Islands. The website content and structure support clear navigation and product discovery, indicating a customer-centric approach. The presence of a B2B webshop and calls for reseller partnerships suggest growth ambitions and a diversified revenue stream. The company’s longevity since 1982 and consistent branding reinforce market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA protects user input forms, reducing spam and automated abuse risks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options limits protection against certain web-based attacks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid mitigation of security issues. Privacy compliance is evident through a detailed privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business scale but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements, allowing users to manage cookie preferences.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Optimize website performance and loading speed to improve user experience and SEO rankings.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of standard web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The integration of Google reCAPTCHA v2 invisible protects forms from automated abuse. Klarna payment integration indicates a modern e-commerce payment solution. The CMS or platform is not explicitly identified but appears to be a custom or proprietary e-commerce system. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data for organization, website, breadcrumbs, and collection page. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
