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

City Fitness Philadelphia is a well-established fitness club business founded in 2001, offering luxury gym facilities, diverse fitness classes, and expert training services primarily targeting fitness enthusiasts in the Philadelphia area. The business operates multiple club locations and provides membership plans, corporate programs, and private event hosting, positioning itself as a premium local gym brand. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with the Divi theme and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and domain protections like clientTransferProhibited status; however, there are gaps such as lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy likely embedded in the member guide but no explicit cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is functional, trustworthy, and well-branded but could improve in security and privacy transparency to enhance user trust and regulatory 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

6 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 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';…
  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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

City Fitness Philadelphia holds a strong market position as a premium gym chain in Philadelphia, leveraging multiple locations and a broad service offering including specialized classes and corporate partnerships. The business model is membership-driven with additional revenue streams from private events and retail supplements. The company maintains active engagement through social media channels and a blog, supporting community building and customer retention. Partnerships with recruitment and rewards platforms indicate a strategic approach to talent acquisition and customer loyalty. The company’s digital presence is consistent and professional, supporting its brand image and growth ambitions in the competitive fitness market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options, and no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear to be standard without visible security flaws. The site lacks explicit incident response contact channels, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. Enhancing these aspects would strengthen the security posture and reduce potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy and other security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Add a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, supported by a suite of plugins including Modern Events Calendar Lite and HubSpot integrations. The hosting infrastructure appears to be AWS-based, inferred from DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. The site uses multiple third-party marketing and tracking scripts, which contribute to user analytics but also increase the attack surface. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modern security enhancements and performance tuning.
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.
