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

Motorsport Events operates as a global facilitator for live motorsport experiences, offering official event tickets, travel packages, and exclusive experiences primarily for motorsport fans. The company has a strong market position with over 16 years of experience and a trusted reputation in the motorsport ticketing industry. Their services cover major motorsport events including Formula 1, MotoGP, and Le Mans, targeting a global audience of motorsport enthusiasts. The business model centers on ticket sales combined with travel and hospitality packages, supported by sister companies in related travel and event sectors. Technically, the website is built on a modern React framework with SPA architecture, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It integrates advanced cookie consent management via Cookiebot and uses multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and TikTok Analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO, and accessibility features, although some minor improvements in accessibility and DNS security (DNSSEC) could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements a Content Security Policy, and manages cookie consent effectively. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected, and the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating a legitimate and established entity. Overall, Motorsport Events presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform with a solid business foundation. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security posture and customer trust.

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. 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"

    • 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. 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

Motorsport Events is positioned as a key player in the motorsport ticketing and travel market, leveraging a multi-brand ecosystem including Motorsport Tickets and Motorsport Travel Destinations. Their competitive advantage lies in official ticket authorization, extensive event coverage, and integrated travel experiences. Revenue streams primarily come from ticket sales and travel packages. The target customer segment is global motorsport fans seeking authentic and comprehensive event experiences. Growth indicators include a long domain history and consistent branding across sister sites. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to related travel and event companies, enhancing cross-selling opportunities and market reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and a Content Security Policy in place. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable third-party service (Cookiebot), ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS-related vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security culture appears focused on user privacy and consent but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based single-page application architecture hosted on AWS, indicating a scalable and flexible infrastructure. Integration with Cookiebot and Google Tag Manager shows a mature approach to privacy and analytics management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The absence of a traditional CMS suggests a custom or headless CMS approach. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack supports a professional user experience but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance standards.
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.
