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

iSport.ua is a Ukrainian sports news website providing fresh updates on football, boxing, basketball, hockey, tennis, and other sports. It targets Ukrainian sports fans with news, match schedules, results, online broadcasts, and videos. The site is moderately sized and well-established since 2017, with a consistent brand and good content quality. Technically, it uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Adsense, and various analytics and advertising platforms. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with structured data and Open Graph tags. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CSRF tokens, but could improve by updating libraries and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and trustworthy but should enhance privacy and security transparency.

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

7 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 website operates as a media platform monetized primarily through advertising networks such as Google Adsense, Admixer, and Mox.tv. It leverages multiple tracking and analytics services including Gemius, Google Analytics, and Facebook Analytics to monitor user engagement and ad performance. The target audience is Ukrainian sports enthusiasts, and the content is delivered in Ukrainian and Russian languages. The business model focuses on content delivery and ad revenue, with no direct e-commerce or subscription services detected. The site is part of a broader media group (UMH Group) indicated by CDN and script domains. The platform shows good market positioning as a recognized sports news source in Ukraine.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the HTML, which could expose the site to certain attacks. No security or incident response policies are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Advertising scripts and third-party integrations are numerous, which may increase the attack surface. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by updating dependencies, implementing security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details and implement a consent mechanism.
  4. Add explicit security and incident response policies accessible to users and security researchers.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Bootstrap 4.3.1 for responsive design, jQuery 1.12.4 for DOM manipulation, Google Fonts for typography, and multiple advertising and analytics scripts including Google Adsense, Prebid.js, Gemius, and Facebook SDK. The site is hosted likely on UMH Group infrastructure with CDN support. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of ads. SEO is enhanced by proper meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. The site uses CSRF tokens indicating secure form handling, though no forms with input fields were detected in the provided HTML snippet. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
