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

IWLCARecruits is a specialized recruiting platform focused on women's collegiate lacrosse, providing tools for student-athletes, families, club and high school staff, and college coaches. The platform is officially partnered with the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) and powered by SportsRecruits, a well-established recruiting technology provider. The website offers comprehensive services including athlete profile creation, event film access, recruiting management tools, and integration with recruiting event apps, positioning itself as a key player in the women's lacrosse recruiting market. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, jQuery, Google Fonts, and HubSpot marketing and analytics tools. It demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, fast performance, and good SEO practices. Privacy compliance is well addressed through the use of Ketch consent management and HubSpot cookie banners, with clear links to comprehensive privacy and terms of service documents hosted on reputable domains. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and employs privacy and consent tools. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a concern, potentially indicating a new or privacy-protected registration, which slightly lowers the trust score. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-structured platform with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving transparency around domain registration to further strengthen trust 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

3 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. 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

  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

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

IWLCARecruits occupies a niche market within collegiate sports recruiting, specifically targeting women's lacrosse. Its competitive advantage lies in its official endorsement by the IWLCA and its partnership with SportsRecruits, which provides robust technology and customer support. The business model is subscription-based, offering tiered access to recruiting tools and event film. Target customers include student-athletes, families, coaches at club and high school levels, and college coaches. Growth indicators include a large user base (1,200+ coaches and 35,000+ athletes) and integration with recruiting events. The partnership ecosystem with SportsRecruits and IMG Academy enhances credibility and operational support. The company demonstrates a clear focus on improving recruiting efficiency and athlete empowerment, positioning itself well for continued expansion in the collegiate sports technology sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and SSL encryption, use of privacy consent management tools, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The missing WHOIS data for the domain raises questions about registration transparency but does not directly indicate malicious intent. Compliance with GDPR is supported by the presence of privacy policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security headers and publishing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents or abuse to demonstrate readiness and accountability.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or use WHOIS privacy protection justified by business needs to improve legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts for typography. It integrates HubSpot for marketing automation, analytics, lead capture, and user messaging, alongside Ketch for privacy and consent management. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN and Amazon Cloudfront, ensuring fast content delivery and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is fast with minimal blocking scripts. Technical risks are low, but the lack of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent areas for improvement to reduce potential attack surface and enhance trust.
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.
