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

Uhlsport operates an official e-commerce website focused on selling goalkeeper gloves, football apparel, and related equipment. The site targets football players and enthusiasts, particularly goalkeepers, offering a range of products under the uhlsport brand. The website is built on the Shopware platform and integrates modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, friendly-challenge captcha, and Baqend SpeedKit for performance optimization. The site is well-branded, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and product categorization. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and captcha protection, though explicit security headers and detailed privacy policies are not clearly presented. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual but does not detract from the apparent legitimacy of the site content and branding. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security header implementation.

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

3 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 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

The uhlsport website serves as a direct retail channel for the brand's sports equipment, focusing on football goalkeeper gear and apparel. Its market position is that of an official brand shop, which enhances trust and brand recognition. The business model is primarily e-commerce retail, targeting both individual consumers and potentially teams or clubs. The site supports multiple languages and currencies, indicating an international customer base. Partnerships with B2B portals and brand blogs suggest a broader ecosystem supporting both retail and wholesale operations. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and product offerings, positioning itself strongly within the sports retail sector in Germany and beyond.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates captcha mechanisms to protect against automated abuse. Payment and shipping integrations indicate secure transaction handling. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, which may impact compliance with GDPR and other regulations. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program. The WHOIS data absence raises minor concerns but is mitigated by the professional site content and branding. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding missing headers and transparency documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  4. Add accessibility improvements to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopware e-commerce platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for performance. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Shopware Analytics enables detailed tracking and marketing insights. The use of friendly-challenge captcha and Baqend SpeedKit indicates attention to security and speed optimization. The site is mobile responsive and uses structured navigation with multi-level flyout menus. However, the absence of some security headers and privacy documents suggests areas for technical and compliance improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid 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.
