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

Birmingham Legion FC is a professional soccer team based in Birmingham, Alabama, established in 2018 as the city's first and only locally-owned franchise. The website serves as the official digital presence for the team, targeting soccer fans and the local community with information about the team, schedules, and fan engagement. The site is well-branded and professionally designed, reflecting a medium-sized sports organization with a clear market position within the USL Championship league. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with React components, leveraging modern SEO tools like Yoast SEO and analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and TikTok Analytics. The site employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a good level of privacy compliance and user data protection. However, some areas such as accessibility and security policy disclosures could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and some security headers, but lacks publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable anomaly, reducing trustworthiness despite the professional appearance and legitimate business operations. Overall, Birmingham Legion FC's website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in transparency around domain registration, security policies, and contact information would enhance trust and compliance. The site poses low risk but would benefit from enhanced security governance and clearer business contact details.

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

4 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"

  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

  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

Birmingham Legion FC operates as a professional soccer franchise within the USL Championship, focusing on local fan engagement and sports entertainment. The business model revolves around team operations, ticket sales, merchandising, and community involvement. The website links extensively to partner league sites and sister clubs, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem within the USL network. The organization appears medium-sized with a focus on regional market penetration. The lack of explicit business contact information and domain registration transparency suggests areas for operational maturity. The site’s use of multiple marketing and analytics tools reflects an active digital marketing strategy aimed at fan acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and several security headers present. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR and related regulations. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the overall security maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found, but the missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy. The site would benefit from implementing a security.txt file, publishing incident response contacts, and enhancing CSP headers to mitigate risks further.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security posture.
  2. Enhance Content Security Policy headers to reduce risk of cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Provide explicit business and security contact information on the website for improved trust and incident handling.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Improve website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with React.js components, indicating a hybrid modern architecture. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, TikTok Analytics, HubSpot, and Osano for cookie consent management. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and sports-related widget providers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information but appears professionally maintained. Technical debt is low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
