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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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 Call of Duty League operates as a premier esports league under Activision Blizzard, leveraging the popular Call of Duty franchise to engage a global audience. Its business model includes organizing competitive events, broadcasting matches, merchandising, and fan engagement through digital content and rewards. The league benefits from strong partnerships with brands like Esports World Cup, Scuf Gaming, and Monster Energy, enhancing its market reach and sponsorship revenue. The website reflects a well-structured digital presence supporting these activities, with clear branding and comprehensive content tailored to esports fans. Growth indicators include active content updates, multiple language support, and integration of interactive features like Pick'ems and viewership rewards. The partnership ecosystem and professional presentation position the league strongly within the esports industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, and a robust cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact details represent areas for improvement. The site complies with GDPR and includes privacy notices and terms of use, reflecting good data protection practices. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing explicit contacts. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be enhanced by formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response information.
  3. Add explicit security policy documentation and contact channels for incident reporting.
  4. Continue maintaining and updating privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving regulations.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js, a modern React framework, and managed via Contentstack CMS, indicating a headless CMS architecture. Hosting on Amazon CloudFront CDN ensures global content delivery with low latency. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital marketing and compliance setup. Performance is optimized with preloading of CSS and JavaScript assets, and mobile responsiveness is excellent. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA landmarks and keyboard navigation improvements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern and scalable, supporting the dynamic content needs of an esports league website.
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.
