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

StackCommerce is a specialized technology company providing commercial platforms tailored for sports and events organizations globally. Their offerings include ecommerce shops, auctions, raffles, and website platforms designed to enhance revenue generation and audience engagement. The company positions itself as a market leader in this niche, leveraging integrations such as match-centre stats and event management tools to deliver comprehensive digital solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, with modern SEO and analytics tools like Yoast SEO and Google Analytics implemented. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced DNS security features like DNSSEC. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, with no privacy protection or suspicious WHOIS data. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers to improve the security posture and compliance.

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. 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';…

  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

StackCommerce operates in the technology and ecommerce sector, focusing on B2B services for sports and event organizations. Their business model revolves around SaaS platforms that integrate ecommerce, auctions, and website management, targeting organizations seeking to monetize and engage their audiences digitally. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with visible customer logos and case studies, indicating established partnerships and a credible reputation. Their preferred platform partnerships with BigCommerce and Commerce Dynamics suggest a robust ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees, transaction fees, and service packages. The target customer segment is medium to large sports and event organizations globally, with a focus on Australia. Growth indicators include active marketing tools and integrations with event and media platforms. The company maintains a professional online presence but could enhance transparency with more detailed policies and certifications.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No security headers were detected, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of common WordPress plugins and themes suggests a need for ongoing patch management to mitigate risks. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file reduces the site's readiness for coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and disclose a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, supported by plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Cookie Law Info for cookie consent management. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience. The technical infrastructure appears modern and well-maintained, though the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but the domain registrar is Australian-based. The site uses standard web fonts and icon libraries, and the code includes modern HTML5 and CSS3 practices. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance through further optimization and security enhancements.
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.
