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. 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, Cloudflare, Google APIs

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

  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

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

VC Ultimate operates in the retail sector with a niche focus on custom sports apparel and equipment. The business model centers on direct-to-consumer and team bulk sales via online stores and team portals. The company has a mature domain age indicating long-term market presence. Partnerships with related fan shop domains and event merchandise sites suggest a collaborative ecosystem. The use of eco-friendly materials and inclusive sizing indicates a progressive brand positioning. The website's content and structure support a professional and trustworthy brand image, though contact information is limited to forms without explicit direct contacts.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protection enabled, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No explicit privacy policy, cookie policy, or incident response information is found, which are gaps in compliance and security transparency. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which increases the attack surface but no vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by publishing comprehensive policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and various Shopify apps. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Judge.me for analytics and customer reviews. Hosting is provided by Liquid Web, as indicated by the nameservers. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained with no obvious technical debt or deprecated libraries.
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.
