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

IRONMAN is a globally recognized brand specializing in organizing world-class triathlon events and providing training resources for athletes. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for race information, athlete community engagement, and merchandise sales. The brand holds a strong market position as a leader in triathlon sports, targeting athletes and enthusiasts worldwide. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Zaraz for analytics and performance. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices in place. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though there is room for improvement in publishing explicit privacy policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, but the absence of publicly available WHOIS data slightly reduces domain trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy disclosures, publishing security policies, and providing clear contact information for security incidents.

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. 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';…

  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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  4. 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 13 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

IRONMAN operates primarily in the sports event management sector, focusing on triathlon races worldwide. Its business model includes event organization, athlete training resources, and merchandise sales. The company targets a broad audience of triathlon athletes, from beginners to professionals. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong branding consistency and social media integration. Partnerships with related domains such as the IRONMAN Pro Series and official merchandise store indicate a well-structured ecosystem. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual but likely due to privacy protection or registry policies. The brand's large size and global reach position it as a dominant player in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML snapshot. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contact details represents a compliance gap, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. The cookie consent mechanism is present and functional, indicating some level of privacy compliance. The site uses third-party analytics and marketing tools, which should be regularly audited for security and privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance by detailing data collection, processing, and retention practices explicitly.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a robust technical foundation. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses Cloudflare Zaraz for script management, suggesting a focus on performance and security. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, enhancing usability. Performance appears moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, though continuous monitoring for third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
