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

Intercontinental GT Challenge is a globally recognized motorsports media and event platform focused on the GT3 racing series. It provides fans and stakeholders with live streaming, live timing, news, video highlights, and photo galleries related to international GT3 events. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and targets motorsports enthusiasts worldwide. The business operates under the SRO Motorsports Group umbrella, a well-established entity in the motorsports sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure. It features good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. However, no explicit CMS or advanced frameworks were detected. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain registration protections. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not evident, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is strong with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, indicating GDPR awareness. No incident response or security policy pages were found. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with high professionalism and trustworthiness. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and incident response transparency would further enhance its security posture and compliance.

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

5 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. Network security

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

    • 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

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 Intercontinental GT Challenge website serves as a central hub for global GT3 motorsports fans, teams, manufacturers, and media. Its market positioning is strong within the niche of international GT3 racing coverage, leveraging the reputation of the SRO Motorsports Group. The business model revolves around media content delivery, event promotion, and fan engagement through live streams and exclusive content. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, advertising, and event partnerships. The extensive network of partner domains and social media presence supports a broad ecosystem. Growth indicators include regular content updates, upcoming event countdowns, and app promotion. The company targets a specialized audience passionate about motorsports, ensuring focused engagement and brand loyalty.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and domain registration safeguards such as clientDeleteProhibited status. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a moderate security gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, with Google Fonts integration for typography. It uses HTML5 video elements for media content and Fancybox for video lightbox functionality. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by Amazon Registrar domain registration and AWS DNS servers. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. No explicit CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of assets and scripts. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by adopting security best practices and modern web standards.
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.
