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

Spreadshirt is a well-established e-commerce platform specializing in personalized apparel such as custom t-shirts and hoodies. The website targets a broad audience interested in custom clothing and also offers B2B corporate clothing solutions. The platform is part of the Spread Group, indicating a large-scale operation with multiple country-specific domains. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Glide.js for sliders and OneTrust for cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices in place. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, but the website's professional presentation and contact information support its legitimacy. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with room for improvement in security 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

4 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

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

Spreadshirt operates in the competitive personalized apparel e-commerce sector, leveraging a marketplace model that allows users to create and sell custom designs. Its market positioning is strong in Europe and other regions, supported by localized domains and a broad product catalog. The business model includes direct-to-consumer sales and B2B services, with revenue streams from product sales and marketplace commissions. The presence of a dedicated help center, job listings, and promotional campaigns indicates active business growth and customer engagement. Partnerships with platforms like Greenhouse for recruitment and Trustpilot for reviews enhance its ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest continued expansion potential through enhanced digital marketing and improved security disclosures to build further trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern JavaScript libraries is managed without apparent vulnerabilities. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is indicated by the privacy and cookie policies. The lack of DNSSEC information and WHOIS transparency slightly detracts from the overall trustworthiness. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy and providing dedicated security contact channels to improve incident response readiness and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Ensure all recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are explicitly set and documented.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration details are publicly available and consistent.
  5. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript frameworks such as LitElement and Glide.js for UI components and sliders. Cookie management is handled via OneTrust, and analytics are implemented through Adobe Analytics and Trustpilot widgets. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key scripts and stylesheets. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal, but the site should monitor third-party scripts for vulnerabilities and maintain performance optimizations.
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.
