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

Gainbridge Super League is the official website for a first division women's soccer league affiliated with the United Soccer League (USL). The site provides news, club information, schedules, and league updates targeting women's soccer fans and stakeholders. It is positioned as an important entity within the sports sector, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party sports data integrations to deliver content. The website is built on WordPress with React components and uses SEO best practices to maintain visibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, cookie consent, and security headers, though some policy pages and contact information are missing. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but the affiliation with USL supports legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and serves its audience effectively.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. 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

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 Gainbridge Super League operates within the sports industry, focusing on women's soccer. It benefits from its association with the USL network, which enhances its market position and credibility. The business model centers on league promotion and fan engagement through digital content and club information. The website integrates multiple partner domains and marketing tools, indicating a mature partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active social media presence and integration of live sports data widgets. The absence of direct contact information suggests a centralized communication approach via USL. Strategic observations highlight the importance of expanding transparency with terms of service and security policies to enhance trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a published security policy and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap. The site uses third-party scripts which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing accessibility features. The missing WHOIS data is a concern but does not directly impact site security. Recommendations include publishing security and incident response information and improving accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Create and publish terms of service to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusion.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with React components and uses a variety of modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Font Awesome, and Opta sports widgets for live data. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices implemented via Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses multiple CDN and third-party services for content delivery and analytics. Technical risks include dependency on third-party scripts and incomplete WHOIS data. Opportunities exist to improve technical debt by enhancing accessibility and publishing more comprehensive policy documents.
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.
