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

Daktronics is a well-established company specializing in the design and manufacture of electronic scoreboards, LED video displays, message signs, and billboards. Their products serve a diverse range of markets including sports venues, commercial businesses, out-of-home advertising, and transportation sectors. The company maintains a strong market position with a global footprint and offers a comprehensive suite of hardware, software, and services tailored to their clients' needs. The website reflects a professional and mature digital presence with clear navigation, extensive product and service information, and multiple customer engagement channels. From a technical perspective, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance and marketing effectiveness. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and performance. Security measures such as HTTPS enforcement and security headers are in place, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not published, representing an area for improvement. The security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed through visible cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises questions about domain registration transparency, which should be further investigated to ensure trustworthiness. Overall, Daktronics presents a low-risk profile with a professional online presence and strong business credibility. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and verifying domain registration details to enhance 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

3 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 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. 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

Daktronics operates in the technology and manufacturing sectors, focusing on electronic display solutions for sports, commercial, advertising, and transportation markets. Their business model revolves around product sales complemented by software solutions and value-added services such as creative design and event production. The company targets institutional customers including schools, professional sports teams, commercial enterprises, and government agencies. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive product portfolio, global reach, and established brand reputation. The presence of dedicated partner and investor portals indicates a mature partnership ecosystem and investor relations strategy. Growth indicators include diversified market segments and ongoing digital marketing efforts. The company’s operations appear stable and professionally managed with a focus on innovation and customer service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of cookie consent tools aligns with GDPR and privacy regulations, showing compliance awareness. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The absence of a security.txt file or dedicated security contact channels limits external reporting capabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure registration transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features by adding ARIA landmarks and roles for improved usability.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, FontAwesome icons, Google Fonts, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The HTML structure is valid and optimized for SEO with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and tracking pixels. No CMS or hosting provider was explicitly identified from the HTML content. The site employs SSL/TLS with strong configuration. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and to document technical and security policies more explicitly.
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.
