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

Detroit City FC is a professional soccer team based in Detroit, Michigan, competing in the USL Championship. The website serves as a hub for fans and stakeholders, providing information about the team, matches, and league affiliations. The site is well-branded and targets soccer enthusiasts and the local community. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern technologies including React and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and TikTok Pixel. The site employs HTTPS and standard security headers, indicating a good security posture. Privacy compliance is evident through a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the active and professional nature of the site mitigates this somewhat. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and compliant, but domain registration verification is recommended.

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

7 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 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
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Detroit City FC operates as a regional professional sports entity within the soccer industry, leveraging fan engagement and merchandising as key revenue streams. The club is positioned within the USL Championship ecosystem, partnering with league websites and related soccer organizations. The business model focuses on community engagement and sports entertainment. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and good digital presence. Partnerships with league entities and social media integration support growth and market visibility. The lack of explicit contact information on the site suggests a focus on digital engagement rather than direct customer service channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that could impact trust and should be investigated further. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security culture and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  2. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Provide clear and direct contact information for business and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of React for dynamic components.

The site loads multiple external resources including fonts, icons (FontAwesome), and sports data widgets. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience.
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.
