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

Spreadshirt operates a global print-on-demand e-commerce platform specializing in custom apparel, accessories, and home products. The website offers users the ability to create personalized products or shop from a wide range of designs. It targets a broad audience interested in unique, customizable merchandise and serves both individual consumers and corporate clients through its Pro services. The platform is well-established with a consistent brand presence and a comprehensive online help center to support customers. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as Glide.js for UI components and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with integrations for analytics and marketing tools like Adobe AppMeasurement and Trustpilot. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable anomaly, potentially due to privacy protection or alternative domain registration, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, Spreadshirt's website is professional, secure, and privacy-compliant, with strong business credibility. Strategic improvements in security transparency and domain registration clarity would enhance trust and compliance posture.

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 holds a strong position in the custom apparel e-commerce market, leveraging a print-on-demand business model that reduces inventory risk and enables personalized product offerings. Its revenue streams likely include direct consumer sales, corporate apparel contracts, and platform fees for sellers. The company targets diverse customer segments, from individual creators to businesses seeking branded merchandise. Partnerships with recruitment platforms and review services enhance operational capabilities and customer trust. The website's multilingual and multi-regional domains indicate a global market reach. Growth indicators include active promotional campaigns and a robust online presence. Strategic observations suggest opportunities in expanding security disclosures and enhancing domain transparency to reinforce market confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent compliance aligned with GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contact information was found, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests room for maturity in security governance. No immediate vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were identified in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and improving communication of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider publishing a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and accessible to strengthen trustworthiness.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize website performance and accessibility to maintain high user experience and compliance standards.

SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Analytics and marketing integrations include Adobe AppMeasurement and Trustpilot widgets.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports a professional e-commerce experience.
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.
