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

The Disc Golf Foundation is a small non-profit organization dedicated to growing the sport of disc golf through charitable programs, partnerships, and community involvement. Established in 2004, it serves as a primary charitable entity supporting disc golf initiatives including facility improvements, diversity outreach, and historical preservation. The website reflects a well-structured and professionally designed platform with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at disc golf enthusiasts, donors, and volunteers. Technically, the site employs modern front-end technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Swiper.js, and integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience, though SEO and accessibility features are basic. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the organization's profile, with no privacy protection on WHOIS data, indicating transparency. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. No privacy or cookie policies were found, representing a compliance gap especially under GDPR. Contact information is limited to an email address, with no phone or physical address explicitly provided. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved security practices and privacy compliance measures to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Disc Golf Foundation occupies a niche position as the primary charitable organization supporting disc golf growth. Its business model relies on donations, grants, and partnerships with key industry players such as Discraft, Innova, and the PDGA. The organization targets disc golf players, community volunteers, and donors, leveraging events and programs to engage stakeholders. The presence of board member bios and testimonials adds credibility and trust. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing programs like the Matching Baskets Program. Strategic partnerships with major disc golf brands and governing bodies strengthen its market position and outreach capabilities.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer lock are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential DNS spoofing and clickjacking risks. No incident response or security policies are publicly disclosed, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates gaps in compliance and user data protection. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security controls and transparency are recommended to mitigate risks and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to secure domain name resolution and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Enhance contact information with phone numbers and physical addresses to improve transparency and trust.

Key observations

  4. No visible security or incident response policies.
  5. Use of modern front-end technologies and Google Analytics for tracking.
  6. No DNSSEC enabled, which is a minor security weakness.
  7. No visible security headers in HTML content.
  8. No forms detected that collect user data directly on the homepage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The site is hosted under a domain registered with NameCheap, Inc., with no CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. The site would benefit from modernization in security practices and enhanced SEO and accessibility features to improve overall technical maturity.
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.
