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

Monumental Sports holds a strong market position as a large-scale sports and entertainment entity with diversified revenue streams including venue management, media broadcasting, and philanthropic initiatives. Their business model integrates live experiences, media content, and community programs, targeting sports fans and regional stakeholders. The company leverages partnerships with venues and foundations to enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include investments in women's sports and entertainment district development. The website's integration with career platforms and social media channels supports talent acquisition and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms indicate compliance with GDPR and related regulations. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response information and lack of DNSSEC implementation are areas for improvement. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and MonsterInsights is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with explicit security disclosures and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and NitroPack for performance optimization. It employs standard web technologies including jQuery and Font Awesome. The site demonstrates fast loading times and good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registration is with GoDaddy. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence with opportunities for further modernization and security enhancements.
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.
