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

Ardevar Ltd is a Hong Kong-based company specializing in marketing and providing sports data feeds and APIs. Founded in 2023, the company positions itself as a leader in transforming sports data into engaging digital content and visualizations, targeting businesses that require accurate and timely sports data for media activation and marketing purposes. Their key services include API content delivery, data feeds covering major sports leagues worldwide, risk management, reporting tools, and CRM solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and a focus on B2B clients. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, OwlCarousel, and EmailJS for contact form handling. Hosting is provided by Hosting Concepts B.V. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and moderate performance. However, there is no CMS detected, and SEO and accessibility features are basic. The domain is relatively new but consistent with the company's founding date. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. There are no privacy or cookie policies present, which is a compliance gap. The contact form collects user data but does not indicate explicit security or privacy measures. No analytics or tracking services beyond EmailJS are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from improved security practices, privacy compliance, and transparency policies to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

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

Ardevar Ltd operates in the technology and media sectors, focusing on sports data marketing and feed services. Their business model is B2B, providing APIs and data feeds to companies requiring sports data for digital content and marketing. The company leverages its expertise to offer risk management and CRM services, enhancing client business intelligence and customer engagement. Market positioning is that of a niche leader in sports data marketing, with a clear focus on innovation and strategic media activation. The company is small, recently founded, and based in Hong Kong, with no publicly listed subsidiaries or parent companies. The website and domain registration are consistent with a startup in this sector. The lack of extensive marketing tools or analytics suggests a focus on direct client engagement rather than broad consumer marketing.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is implemented, and the domain has clientTransferProhibited status, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security level. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The contact form collects personal data but lacks visible security or privacy assurances. There are no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Compliance with GDPR or other privacy regulations is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is functional but requires enhancements in security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve security transparency.
  5. Conduct a security audit of the contact form and ensure secure handling of user data with encryption and validation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, OwlCarousel for sliders, and EmailJS for contact form email handling. Hosting is provided by Hosting Concepts B.V., a known registrar and hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and moderate performance. SEO optimization is basic, with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are limited. No CMS or backend platform is identified, suggesting a custom or static site. No analytics or tracking services are integrated beyond EmailJS. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small business but could be improved for scalability, security, and SEO.
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.
