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

My Football is an official Australian football media platform operated under Football Australia, providing comprehensive news, videos, and information about football teams and competitions in Australia. The website targets football fans and participants, offering a rich content experience with official branding and partner links. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 and integrates modern analytics and advertising technologies, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data is privacy protected but consistent with a legitimate organizational domain. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve transparency on privacy and security policies.

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

6 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

The website serves as a key media outlet for football in Australia, leveraging partnerships with official teams and competitions. Its business model focuses on content delivery and fan engagement, supported by advertising revenue via Google Ad Manager. The site demonstrates strong market positioning as an official source, with a medium-sized audience and consistent branding. The partnership ecosystem includes related football domains and social media channels, enhancing reach and credibility. Growth indicators include frequent news updates and multimedia content. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance user trust by publishing clearer privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, indicating baseline compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No contact information for incident response or security policies is published, limiting transparency. Analytics and advertising scripts are loaded asynchronously, minimizing performance impact but increasing tracking footprint. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection frameworks appears minimal based on available information. Overall, security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve transparency on data collection, retention policies, and user rights to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Ad Manager for analytics and advertising. It uses modern web fonts and icon libraries such as FontAwesome and Material Icons. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and asynchronous script loading for performance. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta descriptions. However, no advanced hosting provider details were found. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. The technical stack is modern but would benefit from improved security header implementation and clearer privacy disclosures.
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.
