Founded in 2007, the company targets football fans globally, offering a comprehensive and engaging user experience through its website and mobile applications across iOS, Android, and Huawei platforms. The website demonstrates a strong market position as a trusted source for football-related content with consistent branding and high content quality. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance, mobile optimization, and good SEO practices. Hosting is managed through Amazon Registrar, Inc., and the site employs HTTPS with robust security headers, although DNSSEC is not enabled. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and Google DoubleClick for analytics and advertising, maintaining a moderate level of user tracking with good privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with enforced HTTPS and security headers, but lacks explicit vulnerability disclosure mechanisms and incident response contacts. Privacy and cookie policies are present and comprehensive, indicating GDPR compliance. Contact information is primarily via a contact form, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, Forza Football presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform with a strong reputation in the sports media industry. Strategic improvements could include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clearer incident response contacts to enhance security transparency and trust.

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

8 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"

    • 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

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

Forza Football operates in the media sector, focusing on football live scores and related content. Its business model revolves around providing real-time sports data and multimedia content to a global audience of football enthusiasts. The company benefits from a long domain history and a broad coverage of leagues, which strengthens its competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include advertising and partnerships, supported by integration with major ad networks like Google DoubleClick. The company maintains active social media channels and app presence, indicating a well-rounded digital ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by multi-language support and continuous content updates. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation focused on its niche market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a security.txt file indicates room for improvement in DNS security and vulnerability disclosure transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder timely communication in case of security incidents. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and clearer incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are present.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible trust seals or certifications related to data protection and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily React and Next.js, which support server-side rendering and fast client-side interactions. The presence of preconnect and preload tags indicates optimization for resource loading and performance. Hosting is managed via Amazon Registrar, Inc., suggesting reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, including proper meta viewport settings and ARIA labels. SEO is well addressed with canonical links, hreflang tags for multiple languages, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Analytics and advertising scripts are integrated via Google Tag Manager and DoubleClick, enabling effective marketing and user behavior tracking. No CMS was explicitly detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is robust, performant, and aligned with modern web standards.
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.
