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

NBL1 Australia operates a comprehensive basketball league website serving multiple regional conferences across Australia. The platform offers news, fixtures, ladders, player stats, and live streaming services via its subscription-based NBL+ offering. The website targets basketball fans, players, and clubs, positioning itself as a leading regional sports media platform in Australia. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Firebase Authentication, and integrates Google and Facebook analytics and advertising tools. The site is mobile-optimized with good design and navigation, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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

NBL1 Australia holds a strong market position as a regional basketball league media platform with a subscription-based live streaming model (NBL+), supplemented by advertising revenue. Its target audience includes basketball enthusiasts and regional clubs. The business model focuses on content delivery, fan engagement, and digital subscriptions. The website's partnership ecosystem includes major social media platforms and advertising networks. Growth indicators include active content updates and multi-conference coverage. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve compliance and security transparency to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Firebase Authentication for user management, and integration of reputable analytics and advertising services. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents compliance gaps. Privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may expose the business to regulatory risks under GDPR and similar frameworks. The site should implement explicit security headers and publish a security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with extensive use of JavaScript libraries including Firebase for authentication, Braze for customer engagement, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and advertising management. Hosting assets are served via AWS S3, ensuring scalability. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. The technical stack is modern and supports the business model effectively, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce technical debt and regulatory risk.
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.
