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

BlackBook Motorsport operates as a specialized business community platform serving the motor racing industry. It provides curated content, business intelligence, and networking opportunities tailored to professionals and enthusiasts in motorsport sectors such as Formula One, NASCAR, MotoGP, and others. The website demonstrates a solid market position within this niche, offering memberships, events, and data services to enhance industry success. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile optimized and presents a professional design with good navigation and SEO practices. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism present but lacking visible privacy and terms pages. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and branding appear legitimate and professional. Overall, the site scores well but should address privacy and domain registration transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 model centers on subscription and membership services combined with content delivery and networking within the motorsport industry. Key revenue streams likely include memberships, advertising, sponsored content, and event participation. The company targets motorsport professionals, sponsors, and enthusiasts seeking industry insights and connections. The platform's comprehensive coverage of major racing series and business intelligence tools positions it competitively in a specialized market. Partnerships with marketing and analytics providers support its digital presence. Growth indicators include active content updates and event listings. However, the lack of visible company registration and contact details may limit trust among some users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which are common but require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Security headers are not fully implemented, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent but no clear privacy or terms documentation. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by adding explicit security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including an abuse or security email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Improve accessibility compliance to ensure inclusivity and meet legal standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. It leverages HubSpot for marketing automation and analytics, Google Tag Manager for tag management, and Google Ads for advertising. The presence of Flatpickr suggests interactive date selection features. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external scripts that may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is appropriate for the business model but should be monitored for performance and security updates.
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.
