Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

NASCAR is a prominent organization in the transportation and sports entertainment sector, specializing in motorsports event organization and media broadcasting. The website is positioned as a key digital touchpoint for fans and stakeholders, although the current landing page is blocked by Cloudflare security measures, limiting content visibility. The business operates at a large scale within the United States, targeting motorsports enthusiasts and media consumers. Technically, the site is hosted on AWS and protected by Cloudflare, with a valid SSL certificate but lacking support for modern TLS protocols, which impacts security posture. The absence of visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies on the landing page indicates gaps in compliance and user transparency. Security headers are well implemented, but the site would benefit from updated protocols and clearer security documentation. Overall, the website's current state suggests a need for improved content delivery, compliance transparency, and enhanced security configurations to better serve users and reduce false positive blocks.

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.

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

NASCAR holds a leading market position in the motorsports industry, leveraging its brand to deliver racing events and media content. The business model focuses on sports entertainment, fan engagement, and media broadcasting. Revenue streams likely include event ticket sales, broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and merchandise. The target audience is primarily motorsports fans and sports media consumers. The company uses AWS for hosting and Cloudflare for security and performance, indicating a modern cloud infrastructure. However, the lack of visible policies and contact information on the landing page may hinder user trust and regulatory compliance. Partnerships and third-party services are evidenced by multiple domain verification records, but no explicit partner domains were identified. The website's current technical and content state suggests opportunities for growth in digital maturity and user engagement.

Security posture

The security posture of the NASCAR website is moderate, with strong security headers including HSTS with preload and includeSubDomains, and secure cookie settings. The SSL certificate is valid but the site does not support modern TLS versions (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3), which is a significant security gap. No known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected. The site uses Cloudflare's security services, which provide protection against common web attacks, but the current blocking of users indicates potential false positives or overly aggressive rules. There is no public security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure information available, which limits transparency and user confidence. Compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations cannot be confirmed due to lack of policy visibility. Overall, the site demonstrates good baseline security practices but requires improvements in protocol support, transparency, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to enhance encryption security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies prominently on the website to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement a public security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  5. Review and fine-tune Cloudflare security rules to reduce false positive blocks and improve user accessibility.
Technical notes

Notes

The NASCAR website is hosted on Amazon Web Services and protected by Cloudflare, indicating a robust cloud infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Amazon RSA 2048 and is valid with a long expiry period. However, the site does not support modern TLS protocols, which is a technical debt and security risk. The site uses Cloudflare Insights for analytics and performance monitoring. No CMS or web frameworks were detected from the HTML content. The landing page is currently a Cloudflare block page, preventing full assessment of content quality, mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO. DNS records show multiple MX servers for email handling and several TXT records for domain verification with various third-party services. Overall, the technical setup is solid but requires modernization in encryption protocols and improved content delivery to enhance user experience and security.
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.
