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

The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg website represents a well-established motorsports event organizer with a history dating back to 2001. The company, Green Savoree St. Petersburg, LLC, operates a premier motorsports festival in St. Petersburg, Florida, offering ticket sales, hospitality packages, and merchandise. The website effectively targets motorsports fans, tourists, and local attendees with clear event information and partner engagement. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with modern frameworks like Helix3 and Bootstrap, ensuring responsive design and moderate performance. The use of analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Constant Contact indicates a mature digital marketing approach, though lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain protections but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and business credible, with room for privacy compliance enhancements.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 20 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  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 · found on this site
  • 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 is positioned as a key player in the motorsports event sector within the St. Petersburg region, leveraging partnerships with notable brands and local organizations. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, premium hospitality, merchandise, and sponsorships. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with a clear focus on event promotion and customer engagement through digital channels. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including automotive, hospitality, and local government entities, enhancing market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include scheduled events for 2026 and active news updates. The business model is event-centric with ancillary services supporting visitor experience and brand loyalty.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could expose the site to certain attack vectors. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party scripts and marketing tools without explicit cookie consent may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhancements in DNS security, header implementation, and privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy compliance mechanisms to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature and stable technology stack centered on Joomla CMS with Helix3 framework and Bootstrap for responsive design. It incorporates modern web fonts and iconography via Google Fonts and Font Awesome. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented through Google Analytics and Hotjar, while email marketing is managed via Constant Contact. The site is hosted likely with GoDaddy, inferred from registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve compliance.
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.
