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

INDY NXT by Firestone is the official developmental racing series of INDYCAR, targeting motorsport fans and racing enthusiasts primarily in the United States. The website serves as the authoritative source for news, schedules, driver and team profiles, standings, and multimedia content related to the series. It is professionally designed with consistent branding and offers extensive content relevant to its audience. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading to ensure fast performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which is unusual for a professional sports site, but the site content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy as an official platform. Overall, the site is a high-quality, trustworthy resource for INDY NXT fans and stakeholders.

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 site positions INDY NXT as a key player in the motorsport developmental racing sector, leveraging its affiliation with INDYCAR to maintain market authority. Its business model revolves around content dissemination, fan engagement, and event promotion. The presence of official merchandise links and ticket sales partnerships indicates diversified revenue streams. The target audience includes motorsport fans, teams, drivers, and sponsors. The site demonstrates growth potential through active news updates and multimedia content. Partnerships with official INDYCAR domains and fan communities strengthen its ecosystem. The lack of detailed company registration data is a minor concern but does not detract from the site's operational credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. It uses reputable third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, though the absence of some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The site lacks explicit security or incident response policies, which could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance. Privacy policies are missing, which is a compliance gap especially under GDPR. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from formalizing security and privacy documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and make accessible an incident response policy or contact channel for security issues.
  4. Monitor and verify domain WHOIS registration status to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent introduction of vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including asynchronous JavaScript libraries for analytics (Marketo, Google Tag Manager), social sharing (ShareThis), and advertising (Google Ad Manager). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with efficient script loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No CMS or hosting provider was explicitly detected. The site could improve by adding more robust security headers and formalizing privacy and compliance documentation.
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.
