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

College Sport Auckland is a regional non-profit organization dedicated to coordinating and promoting secondary school sports activities in Auckland, New Zealand. The website serves as a hub for sports draws, results, news, and information for schools and sports coordinators. The organization targets secondary school students and associated stakeholders, providing a platform to enhance student wellbeing through sports. The website branding and content are consistent with its educational and sports coordination mission, positioning it as a key regional player in school sports management. Technically, the website is built on the Sporty CMS platform and utilizes modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, Facebook Pixel, Google Publisher Tags, and Elfsight widgets for enhanced functionality and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and content relevance, though some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks several security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. The absence of explicit contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is reasonable for this type of organization but reduces domain trust signals. Overall, College Sport Auckland's website is professional and trustworthy in content and design but should improve privacy compliance and security transparency to enhance user 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. 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

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

College Sport Auckland operates in the education sector, focusing on secondary school sports coordination in Auckland. Its business model is non-profit, providing services such as event coordination, news dissemination, and resource sharing for schools and sports coordinators. The organization leverages partnerships and digital tools to maintain engagement with its audience. The website indicates a medium-sized entity with a strong regional presence but limited public business data such as founding year or parent company. The use of third-party marketing and analytics tools suggests a moderate digital maturity. Growth opportunities include expanding digital engagement and improving compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of privacy and cookie policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The use of third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a regional non-profit but would benefit from enhanced policies, headers, and transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and optimize website performance and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sporty CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading techniques to improve performance. It integrates with Facebook Pixel and Google Publisher Tags for analytics and advertising. The site uses Typekit fonts and Elfsight widgets for enhanced UI components. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive images. However, the site lacks some accessibility features and security headers. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and resource optimization. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
