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. 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';…
  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

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

LEARFIELD's business model centers on media rights management and marketing services within college sports and live events. Their revenue streams likely include partnerships with universities, venues, and brands seeking to engage sports fans. The company targets educational institutions, sports venues, and corporate brands, positioning itself as a critical intermediary in sports marketing. The website's content and structured data indicate a mature digital marketing strategy with strong SEO and user engagement. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract significantly from the company's established market presence. No subsidiaries or parent companies are indicated, suggesting an independent operation. The company maintains a professional brand image with consistent messaging and high-quality content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no exposed sensitive information. The use of modern CMS and plugins is well-managed, minimizing vulnerabilities. However, the lack of a public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap. No security contact emails or security.txt files were found, which could hinder incident reporting and response. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place and GDPR compliant, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by enhancing transparency and formalizing incident response communications.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security-specific emails.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by listing any certifications or compliance frameworks adhered to.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. Hosting is likely provided by WPEngine, inferred from resource URLs, ensuring robust infrastructure. The site uses modern web fonts (Font Awesome, IBM Plex Sans) and preloads key assets for performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well-implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is fast with minimal blocking scripts and asynchronous loading of analytics. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-maintained.
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.
