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

Spread Group is a global e-commerce company specializing in customized apparel and lifestyle products through print-on-demand technology. It operates multiple brands including Spreadshirt, Spreadshop, TeamShirts, and SPOD, targeting both B2B and D2C markets. The company emphasizes personalization, sustainability, and innovation in fashion technology. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding and comprehensive content about their business and sustainability commitments. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with React components, uses modern media hosting via Cloudinary, and implements cookie consent via OneTrust. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and privacy compliance, but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and social media presence support legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, user-friendly, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in security disclosures and domain registration transparency.

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. 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

Spread Group holds a strong market position as a technology-driven provider of made-to-order customized apparel and lifestyle products. Their business model leverages both B2B and D2C channels, supported by proprietary personalization technology. Revenue and shipment figures indicate a large-scale operation with millions of customers served. The company has expanded through acquisitions such as Berlin Textil, enhancing their B2B offerings. Their sustainability goals and public commitments position them favorably in the growing eco-conscious market segment. Partnerships with job platforms and active social media channels indicate a robust ecosystem and engagement strategy. The company targets consumers and business partners seeking customizable fashion products, with a focus on innovation and sustainability.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline of security and privacy awareness. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could hinder transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts like Adobe Launch and OneTrust requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable gap in trust and transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good privacy compliance but could be strengthened by enhanced header policies, published security policies, and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and ensure timely updates.

Media assets are efficiently hosted on Cloudinary, supporting responsive images and video content. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed through optimization of scripts and assets. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable e-commerce platform with a focus on user experience and personalization. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance domain registration transparency to reduce risk.
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.
