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

Monumental Sports Network is a regional sports streaming platform focused on delivering live and on-demand content for Washington DC area sports teams including the Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics. The platform offers subscription-based access to live games, interviews, and related sports programming, positioning itself as a key media outlet for local sports fans. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as React, AWS hosting, and Adobe TVE for authentication, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and integrates with multiple third-party services for streaming and analytics. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and domain protections, though improvements such as DNSSEC and published security policies are recommended. Privacy compliance is basic with clear privacy and cookie policies but lacks GDPR enforcement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche with moderate risk exposure.

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

8 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 business operates in the media sector with a focus on sports streaming and content delivery. Its competitive advantage lies in exclusive regional sports content and partnerships with major teams and ticketing platforms. The subscription model targets sports enthusiasts in the Washington DC area, leveraging brand loyalty and local sports culture. The company appears to be medium-sized with a decade-plus domain age, indicating stability. The ecosystem includes partnerships with Adobe for authentication and Ticketmaster for ticket sales. Growth opportunities exist in expanding digital offerings and enhancing user engagement. The lack of direct contact information on the site suggests a focus on digital self-service and automated customer management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and domain status protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers like CSP and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder transparency and trust in case of security events. The use of Adobe TVE for authentication adds a layer of security for content access. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media streaming platform but should be enhanced with formal policies and technical controls to mitigate emerging threats and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Add and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the web application.
  5. Enhance GDPR compliance measures and clearly communicate data retention policies to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based SPA architecture with modular CMS backend (AppCMS). Hosting is on AWS with DNS managed via AWS Route53. The site uses Adobe TVE for TV provider authentication, integrating with multiple MVPDs. Performance is moderate with multiple JavaScript bundles loaded asynchronously. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Conviva, though some notification services are disabled. The technical stack is robust but could benefit from further security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
