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

Monterey Bay FC operates as a professional soccer club website providing ticket sales, team news, and community engagement primarily targeting soccer fans and local supporters. The site is positioned within the USL Championship league ecosystem, reflecting a medium-sized sports organization with a focus on fan engagement and event promotion. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, including Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and React components, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract from the overall legitimacy supported by the website content and league affiliations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, maintaining up-to-date software, and improving contact transparency to bolster 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

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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 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
    • 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

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

Monterey Bay FC is positioned as a competitive soccer club within the USL Championship, leveraging digital channels for ticket sales and fan engagement. The business model centers on sports entertainment and community building, with revenue streams likely from ticketing, merchandise, and sponsorships. The website integrates with USL league platforms, indicating strong partnership ties. Growth indicators include active social media presence and participation in league expansions. The partnership ecosystem includes official USL domains and related league sites, enhancing credibility. Operationally, the club maintains a professional online presence but lacks direct contact information on the main site, which could be improved for customer support and business inquiries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR standards. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential vulnerabilities to clickjacking and content injection attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools, which require ongoing monitoring for privacy compliance. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found, indicating an area for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a sports club website but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish clear contact information and security/incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of React for dynamic components, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Google Analytics for user tracking. It uses FontAwesome for icons and Osano for cookie consent management, reflecting a modern and compliant tech stack. Performance is moderate with multiple external scripts and resources loaded, including marketing and analytics tools. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site benefits from structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical risks include potential outdated plugins and missing security headers, which should be addressed to maintain operational integrity.
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.
