Risk levelMedium

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

Oakland Roots SC operates a professional soccer club website focused on providing news, updates, and engagement for fans and the local community. The site is positioned within the USL Championship league ecosystem, linking to partner league sites and leveraging a WordPress CMS with modern SEO and analytics tools. The technical infrastructure includes Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, and Osano for cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks advanced security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and partner affiliations provide trust signals. Overall, the site is professionally designed, mobile optimized, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its target audience effectively.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  3. 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 SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. 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 website serves as the digital front for Oakland Roots SC, a regional soccer club competing in the USL Championship. Its business model centers on sports entertainment, community engagement, and ticket sales. The site integrates with a broader USL network, linking to multiple partner league domains and teams, enhancing its market positioning. Revenue streams likely include ticketing, merchandise, sponsorships, and memberships. The presence of multiple social media channels and marketing tools indicates active audience engagement and brand promotion. Growth indicators include expansion teams and partnerships within the USL ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest a focus on regional fanbase development and leveraging digital platforms for marketing and sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and cookie consent is managed via Osano, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the site. Compliance with privacy regulations is supported by the linked privacy policy and consent banner. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional headers and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Establish and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility including dedicated security and incident response contacts.
  5. Conduct periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities proactively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. It uses a variety of third-party scripts including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Osano for cookie consent management. The site loads multiple external resources such as fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Mobile responsiveness is good, and accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
