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

NFHCARecruits is the official collegiate field hockey recruiting platform endorsed by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). It serves student-athletes, college coaches, and club/high school staff by providing tools to create athlete profiles, discover recruits, and streamline recruiting processes. The platform is powered by SportsRecruits, a well-established recruiting technology provider since 2008, which lends credibility and technical robustness to the service. The website demonstrates a professional design, clear navigation, and mobile optimization, supporting a positive user experience for its target audience. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, HubSpot marketing and analytics tools, Google Fonts, and Ketch for privacy management. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast performance and reliable uptime. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy mechanisms in place, although explicit security headers and dedicated security policies are not fully documented on the site. From a security and compliance perspective, the site shows good privacy compliance with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies linked to reputable sources. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain www.nfhcarecruits.com raises questions about domain legitimacy or registration status, possibly due to privacy protection or use of subdomains. No contact emails or explicit incident response contacts were found, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, NFHCARecruits presents a trustworthy and functional platform for collegiate field hockey recruiting with solid business partnerships and technical infrastructure. Addressing WHOIS transparency, adding explicit security policies, and providing more direct contact information would further strengthen its security posture and business credibility.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

  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

The platform occupies a niche market in collegiate sports recruiting, specifically targeting field hockey. Its partnership with NFHCA and SportsRecruits positions it strongly within this vertical, leveraging SportsRecruits' established technology and user base. The business model is SaaS-based, offering tiered services for athletes, clubs, and coaches to facilitate recruiting workflows. Revenue likely derives from subscriptions or service fees associated with profile creation and recruiting tools. The target customers are student-athletes seeking college opportunities, coaches recruiting talent, and club/high school staff managing athlete exposure. The collaboration with SportsRecruits and IMG Academy for privacy and hosting indicates a robust partnership ecosystem. Growth potential exists through expanding user adoption and enhancing platform features. Strategic observations include the importance of maintaining data privacy compliance and improving domain registration transparency to reinforce market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of privacy management tools like Ketch. Use of HubSpot and Google Analytics is managed with cookie consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy is a minor gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could be added to improve security culture and incident handling readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and explicit header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Content-Security-Policy to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Include verified company contact emails on the website to facilitate communication and support.
  5. Clarify domain registration status or consolidate domain usage to avoid WHOIS inconsistencies and improve legitimacy perception.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business goals effectively.
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.
