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

Cortex is a technology company specializing in fan engagement and marketing technology solutions tailored for the sports industry. Their platform offers a comprehensive suite of products including content management systems, fan data platforms, digital activations, and stadium display software. The company targets sports organizations and rights holders aiming to enhance fan experiences and drive revenue through digital marketing innovations. Cortex positions itself as a scalable SaaS provider with a strong client base including major sports entities, demonstrating a solid market presence. Technically, Cortex employs a modern web infrastructure leveraging Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, Vimeo for video content, and advanced consent management tools to ensure GDPR compliance. The website is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital presence. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to user engagement and business intelligence. From a security perspective, Cortex enforces HTTPS and integrates consent management for privacy compliance. While explicit security headers are not fully visible, the overall posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for tech companies, and does not detract from the site's legitimacy given the professional presentation and trust signals. Overall, Cortex presents a low-risk profile with a robust business model and technical foundation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing security and vulnerability disclosure policies, and providing clearer contact information to further strengthen 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

5 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"

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 20 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Cortex operates in the niche of sports marketing technology, offering a SaaS platform that integrates content, data, and commercial inventory management to sports organizations globally. Their competitive advantage lies in a MACH-based architecture enabling agility and scalability. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and professional services. The company demonstrates growth through strategic partnerships and a diverse client roster spanning multiple sports disciplines. Their marketing emphasizes data-driven fan engagement and monetization, targeting rights holders and sports marketers. The presence of multi-factor authentication and GDPR compliance indicates a focus on security and regulatory adherence, important for enterprise clients. Cortex's ecosystem includes integrations with media and technology partners, enhancing their market reach and service offerings.

Security posture

Cortex exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and integration of a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the website content. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and a published security policy or incident response contacts indicates areas for improvement. The use of multi-factor authentication in their Single Sign-On solution is a positive security control. Absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, Cortex maintains good security hygiene but should enhance transparency and header configurations to align with best practices and enterprise expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly configure security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and provide clear incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance visibility of data protection officer or privacy contacts to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack primarily using Webflow CMS, which provides a headless CMS and hosting platform. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Vimeo for video content delivery, and Sourcepoint for privacy and consent management. The site is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO and accessibility features. The use of MACH architecture in their product offerings indicates a forward-looking approach to software design.

The technical implementation is robust with no visible technical debt or deprecated technologies, supporting reliable business operations.
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.
