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

9 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 company operates a medium-sized retail e-commerce business with a focus on cycling products. It leverages a network of sister stores in related sports sectors, indicating a diversified retail group. The business model centers on direct online sales with fast shipping and secure payment methods. Marketing efforts include affiliate programs, retargeting, and social media engagement. The presence of Trustpilot reviews and multiple payment badges enhances customer trust. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The company targets cycling enthusiasts and professionals, positioning itself as a reliable and comprehensive supplier in the French and European markets.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, enhancing security and performance. Security headers are likely present, and cookie consent is managed via a CMP, indicating GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Third-party scripts include reputable analytics and advertising services, though continuous monitoring is recommended to mitigate risks from external dependencies. The absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the security posture is solid for an e-commerce platform, with room for improvement in transparency and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security measures and practices.
  2. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact channels to improve trust and compliance.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance form security with CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (SvelteKit) for frontend rendering, supported by Cloudflare CDN for hosting and DNS. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Criteo, and AWIN affiliate tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast, aided by module preloading and optimized image delivery. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, tailored for e-commerce. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security vigilance.
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.
