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

brandstalentsrights is a specialized sports marketing and branding agency based in Germany, focusing on leveraging data-driven insights to create compelling media formats with sports personalities. The company targets athletes and sports-related businesses aiming to enhance their brand presence and storytelling. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring clear navigation and relevant content that highlights their services and team. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and integrates Google Analytics for tracking, but lacks some advanced security headers and a public WHOIS record, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, but no privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, indicating room for compliance improvement. Overall, the security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but missing some best practices. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises minor concerns but does not negate the professional appearance and functionality of the site.

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. 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  4. 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 agency operates in a niche market of sports marketing with a data-driven approach, offering services such as analysis, strategy, creative ideation, media monitoring, branding, and data evaluation. Their business model revolves around enhancing athlete branding and corporate communications in the sports sector. The company maintains active social media profiles and presents a small but professional team. The partnership with btr-profisport.de suggests a collaborative ecosystem. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information limits deeper business verification. The website content and structure indicate a focus on quality storytelling and digital marketing effectiveness, positioning them as a specialized player in the German sports marketing industry.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks several important security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the analysis. The cookie consent banner is present, supporting GDPR compliance efforts, but the absence of a privacy policy page is a compliance gap. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS and protect against protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Add Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header to reduce risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) and other code injection attacks.
  3. Include X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to prevent clickjacking and MIME-sniffing vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS capabilities and CDN hosting. It uses Typekit for fonts and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic, with proper meta tags and Open Graph data included. The lack of advanced security headers and missing privacy/legal pages are notable technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
