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

DC Power Football Club is a professional women's soccer team based in Washington, D.C., competing in the Gainbridge Super League. The website serves as a hub for fans to access match updates, ticket information, and club news, positioning itself as a key player in the local sports community. The site leverages modern web technologies including WordPress CMS, Yoast SEO for optimization, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though additional security headers and incident response information could enhance protection.

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"

  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

    • 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 club operates within the professional sports sector, targeting soccer fans and the Washington, D.C. community. Its business model centers on sports entertainment, ticket sales, and fan engagement. The website's integration with USL and Gainbridge Super League domains indicates strong partnerships and league affiliations, enhancing market positioning. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on public engagement rather than direct sales or support via the site. The club appears to be a small-sized entity with a focused regional presence. The digital ecosystem includes multiple social media channels and third-party marketing tools, supporting growth and outreach efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent banners indicating GDPR compliance. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and there is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information, which are best practices for vulnerability disclosure and incident management. The use of third-party scripts and analytics introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Enhancing security headers and providing clear incident response channels would improve the security maturity level.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information to support timely reporting and handling of security incidents.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including React and Font Awesome for UI components. SEO is well-managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are implemented through Google Tag Manager and Parsely. The site loads resources from multiple trusted CDNs and integrates social media and league partner links extensively. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism powered by Osano, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence but could benefit from performance tuning 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.
