It targets fans and supporters of the club, providing a direct channel for purchasing club-related products. The site leverages the BigCommerce platform, ensuring a robust and scalable e-commerce infrastructure with integrated analytics and marketing tools. The design is professional and consistent with the club's branding, offering a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization.

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

5 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. 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

  3. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 business operates in the retail e-commerce sector, specifically sports merchandise for a well-known football club. Its market position is strengthened by official club affiliation and exclusive merchandise offerings. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, with revenue generated from product sales. The target customer segment includes football fans, sports enthusiasts, and club members. The partnership with gomvfc.com.au indicates a broader ecosystem supporting club membership and engagement. The use of BigCommerce suggests a focus on reliable, scalable e-commerce solutions. Growth indicators include regular new product arrivals and sales promotions. Strategic observations include the opportunity to enhance compliance and trust by adding privacy and cookie policies and improving contact transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor security gap that could be addressed to improve DNS integrity. No security headers were detected in the provided content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The site lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for comprehensive security governance. Compliance with GDPR or similar regulations is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and customer support.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts to demonstrate proactive security management.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the BigCommerce platform using the Stencil framework, leveraging modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript libraries such as Modernizr. Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site uses CDN services from BigCommerce for hosting and content delivery, contributing to moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The site is well-structured for e-commerce but would benefit from improved security headers and compliance documentation.
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.
