Risk levelMedium

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

Storm Bowling operates a professional e-commerce platform specializing in bowling equipment and accessories. The website showcases multiple brands and a wide product range targeting bowling enthusiasts. The business model is retail-focused with a medium-sized market presence. Technically, the site uses Magento CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure. The website is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the site content and branding appear legitimate. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its business purpose but could improve privacy and 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

6 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Storm Bowling holds a solid position in the niche retail market for bowling products, leveraging multiple well-known brands. Their e-commerce platform supports a broad product catalog including balls, shoes, bags, and accessories. The company targets bowlers of all levels and engages the community through media and newsletters. The use of multiple brand partnerships and a dedicated pro shop locator indicates a mature business ecosystem. However, the absence of public WHOIS data and contact information may limit some trust factors. The site’s marketing and analytics tools suggest active customer engagement and data-driven strategies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses standard security practices for e-commerce sites. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are not clearly presented, which may lead to compliance gaps especially under GDPR. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, limiting transparency. The site uses third-party scripts including Google Analytics and Intercom, which require careful management to avoid privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be improved with better policy disclosures and security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, RequireJS, and Font Awesome. It uses DigitalOcean Spaces for CDN hosting of media assets. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation structure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The lack of visible security headers and privacy compliance features are technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
