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

FQTV is a specialized sports media platform dedicated to broadcasting and archiving football matches and related content for Queensland, Australia. The website offers live streams, replays, highlights, and classic matches primarily focused on regional football leagues such as NPL and FQPL. The platform targets football fans and stakeholders within the Queensland football community, providing a niche service that supports local sports engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins like Elementor, Yoast SEO, and various video and carousel tools. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses YouTube APIs for video content delivery. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. SEO practices are well implemented with structured data and meta tags. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could be a gap in security readiness. Overall, FQTV presents a professional and focused media service with good content quality and business credibility. To enhance its security posture and compliance, it should implement privacy and cookie policies, add security headers, and provide clear contact information for security incidents. These improvements will strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

FQTV operates as a niche media content provider within the sports sector, focusing on football competitions in Queensland. Its competitive advantage lies in exclusive regional sports video content, including live streaming and archival footage. The business model revolves around content delivery and fan engagement rather than direct e-commerce. The target customers are football fans, clubs, and stakeholders in Queensland. The platform shows growth potential through digital media expansion and partnerships with football organizations. The social media ecosystem supports brand visibility and audience reach. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced compliance and security transparency to support sustainable growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no obvious exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which are essential under GDPR and similar regulations. The use of third-party plugins necessitates regular vulnerability assessments. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls to mitigate risks and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated abuse or security email addresses.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of all third-party plugins and update them promptly to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and compliance with privacy regulations to improve user experience and legal adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It leverages multiple JavaScript libraries and plugins for video embedding, carousels, and analytics integration. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and accessibility. The hosting and domain registration are managed by reputable providers, supporting reliability. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party plugins which require vigilant maintenance to avoid security and performance issues. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve compliance-related technical implementations.
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.
