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

Hudl is a leading sports technology company providing a comprehensive platform for video capture, analysis, and data insights to athletes, coaches, teams, and sports organizations globally. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in the United States, Hudl offers a broad suite of products and services including smart cameras, performance analysis software, scouting databases, and fan engagement tools. The company maintains a strong market position as a trusted provider in the sports technology sector with a large user base and extensive global presence. Technically, Hudl leverages modern web technologies including nginx web server, Craft CMS, and various JavaScript libraries for performance and user experience enhancements. Hosting is primarily on Amazon AWS infrastructure with a valid SSL certificate issued by Amazon RSA 2048. The website demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, supported by structured data and comprehensive metadata. From a security perspective, Hudl implements key security headers and HSTS, but lacks support for modern TLS protocols and has improperly configured CAA records. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are publicly visible, which could be improved. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, Hudl presents a mature digital presence with strong business and technical foundations. Strategic improvements in security protocol support and transparency around incident response would further enhance trust and resilience.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. 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

Hudl operates in the sports technology industry, targeting athletes, coaches, teams, and sports organizations across multiple levels including youth, high school, collegiate, and professional sports. Its SaaS business model focuses on delivering integrated video and data analytics solutions that enhance sports performance and fan engagement. The company benefits from a diversified product portfolio and global footprint with multiple international offices. Hudl's competitive advantages include its comprehensive platform, strong brand recognition, and partnerships with key sports data providers. Revenue streams likely include subscriptions, hardware sales, and advertising partnerships. The company demonstrates growth through continuous product innovation and strategic acquisitions such as Titan GPS. Hudl's ecosystem includes partner platforms for scouting and performance tracking, enhancing its market reach and service depth.

Security posture

Hudl exhibits a solid security posture with implementation of HTTPS, HSTS, and a valid SSL certificate. The absence of modern TLS protocol support (TLS 1.2/1.3) is a notable gap that could expose users to weaker encryption standards. Security headers are present but CAA records are improperly configured, which may affect certificate issuance controls. The website lacks a publicly accessible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact details are not found, which could delay reporting and mitigation of security issues. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting regulatory compliance. Overall, Hudl's security maturity is good but can be enhanced by updating TLS protocols, fixing DNS security records, and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and enforce TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to strengthen encryption and protect user data.
  2. Correctly configure CAA DNS records to restrict unauthorized certificate issuance and improve domain security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file on the website to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@hudl.com) to enable timely reporting and handling of security incidents.
  5. Consider submitting the domain to the HSTS preload list to enhance transport layer security and prevent downgrade attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

Hudl's technical infrastructure is robust, utilizing nginx as the web server and hosting on Amazon AWS, ensuring scalability and reliability. The site uses Craft CMS as its content management system, supported by modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Layzr.js for lazy loading, and Waypoints.js for scroll-based animations, enhancing performance and user experience. Google Tag Manager and OneTrust are integrated for analytics and cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital marketing setup. The website is optimized for mobile devices with excellent accessibility and SEO practices, supported by comprehensive structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata. Performance metrics indicate fast load times, although explicit resource counts and page size data were not available. Technical risks include outdated TLS protocol support and incomplete DNS security configurations, which should be addressed to maintain operational security and 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.
