Risk levelMedium

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

The West Coast Eagles SuperStore website serves as the official e-commerce platform for West Coast Eagles merchandise, offering a wide range of branded apparel and memorabilia targeted at fans and supporters. The site is built on the BigCommerce platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrations such as Google Analytics 4, Facebook Pixel, and Braze for marketing and user engagement. The website demonstrates a good level of technical maturity with responsive design, security best practices including HTTPS and security headers, and a moderate performance profile. However, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but privacy compliance could be improved by publishing comprehensive policies and contact information for incident response. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned as the official merchandise outlet for the club.

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

8 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"

    • 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 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

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 e-commerce retail sector, specifically focusing on official sports merchandise for the West Coast Eagles Australian football club. Its market position is that of an exclusive official seller, ensuring that profits remain with the club. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, targeting fans across demographics including youth, adults, men, women, and infants. The use of BigCommerce and integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates a focus on digital sales growth and customer engagement. The absence of detailed business contact information and policies suggests room for maturity in customer service and compliance. The website's branding is consistent and leverages trust signals such as official club association and secure payment processing. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, indicating a focused partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of reputable third-party scripts and analytics services is well managed. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness from a security governance perspective. The cookie consent mechanism is present and provides GDPR-related messaging, but the absence of a detailed privacy policy reduces compliance confidence. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, establishing incident response contact channels, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

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.
