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

Discgolf Metrix is an established online platform founded in 2015 that specializes in providing live scorecard and statistics services for the disc golf community. It caters primarily to disc golf players, clubs, and competition organizers by offering tools for competition management, personal statistics tracking, course discovery, club involvement, and bagtag challenges. The platform has a sizable user base and a focused niche market position within the sports technology sector. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, SVG graphics, and the Foundation CSS framework, delivering a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security-wise, the site benefits from HTTPS and bot protection but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, indicating room for improvement in hardening its security posture. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or detailed GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could enhance its security and privacy features to better align with best practices.

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

6 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 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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 business operates on a freemium model, offering free services with additional paid features for clubs and competitions. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on disc golf, a growing sport, and a comprehensive suite of tools tailored to the community's needs. The platform supports a large and active user base, indicating strong market penetration. Partnerships appear limited to social media engagement, primarily via Facebook. The company is registered in Denmark, consistent with the domain registration data. Growth indicators include a large number of users, courses, clubs, and competitions managed through the platform. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand partnerships, improve privacy compliance, and enhance security to build further trust and market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which may impact readiness for security events. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent and detailed GDPR adherence. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The overall security posture is adequate but would benefit from implementing additional security controls, formal policies, and compliance mechanisms to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, SVG graphics, and the Foundation CSS framework, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end stack. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of external resources. There is no evidence of a CMS, suggesting a custom-built platform. Hosting details are limited to registrar information, with no explicit cloud or hosting provider identified. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to DNS attacks and clickjacking. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and enhance privacy compliance to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
