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

Gator Cup is a niche sports event website focused on archery competitions scheduled for April 2025. The site provides comprehensive event information, registration links, merchandise, and vendor details, targeting archery athletes, coaches, and enthusiasts. The business operates primarily as an event organizer with a digital presence built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging third-party registration services. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTTPS, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with good design and navigation, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, but lacks publicly available privacy and cookie policies, impacting compliance. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy for its audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit contact information.

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

  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 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

    • 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 Gator Cup website positions itself as a specialized event organizer in the archery sports sector, leveraging partnerships with US Archery for registration and local services like Gainesville airport for trip planning. Its business model centers on event management, participant registration, and merchandise sales. The target market includes archery competitors, coaches, vendors, and spectators. The site shows consistent branding and moderate trust signals such as social media presence and secure hosting. Growth potential is tied to event success and community engagement. The absence of detailed business registration info and contact details limits full business intelligence assessment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. Tracking scripts are present without visible user consent mechanisms, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing privacy and security policies and improving user consent management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Animate.css, and WOW.js for animations and tracking. Hosting is provided by Squarespace, ensuring reliable uptime and SSL support. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and design quality. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based event sites. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is present but minimal, with meta tags and Open Graph data included. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but privacy compliance gaps exist.
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.
