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

HighlightCam is a New Zealand-based mobile application focused on capturing and sharing sports highlight videos by recording the previous 15-20 seconds before a highlight moment. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, targeting sports participants, schools, and clubs within New Zealand. It leverages third-party services such as Sporty.co.nz CMS, Facebook SDK, Google Analytics, and YouTube embeds to provide a rich user experience. However, the absence of WHOIS data and direct contact information reduces the overall trustworthiness. The site is accessible without WAF or security challenges and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Privacy and terms pages exist but lack comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR compliance indicators.

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. 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 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

The business operates in the technology sector, specifically mobile app development for sports video highlights. It appears to be a small-sized entity under the Sportsground group umbrella, with partnerships including Sporty.co.nz and SportyNews.co.nz. The business model is based on free app distribution with integrated social media sharing and content publishing. The target market is niche and localized to New Zealand sports communities. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a positive market position within its niche. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and contact details may impact credibility and user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. It uses reputable third-party SDKs and analytics tools but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program. Cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may affect privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to build user trust and prepare for potential security incidents.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sporty.co.nz CMS platform and uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, YouTube embeds, and CKEditor for content management. It loads asynchronously many scripts to optimize performance and supports mobile responsiveness with appropriate CSS and polyfills. The site performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy controls. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
