ST JOHNSTONE FC · Other · United Kingdom

High risk. 8 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS, Security headers and 1 other check.

Security score

44/100

Risk levelHigh

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

St Johnstone FC's official website serves as a digital hub for fans, providing news, match reports, ticketing information, and club updates. The site is well-branded and targets football supporters, offering a professional and engaging user experience. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and SEO optimizations, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no obvious vulnerabilities, though security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the active website presence. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. 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';…

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 positions St Johnstone FC as an official football club platform, focusing on fan engagement and information dissemination. Its business model revolves around providing club-related content and services such as ticket sales and news updates. The site leverages partnerships with analytics and marketing tools but does not display explicit business contact details or certifications. The absence of privacy and security policies may impact trust with users. The domain registration inconsistency suggests a need for verification to ensure brand protection. The club likely operates in the sports and entertainment sector with a small organizational size based on the website scope.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates common analytics and marketing scripts securely. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. The WHOIS data anomaly is a concern for domain ownership verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing comprehensive security headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify domain registration details and resolve WHOIS inconsistencies to strengthen domain legitimacy and brand protection.
  4. Include explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officers to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to maintain a secure environment.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Bricks Builder framework, enhanced with JavaScript libraries like GSAP and Splide.js for animations and sliders. SEO is managed via Rank Math PRO, and forms are handled by Fluent Forms. Analytics and tracking are implemented through Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated but lacks some security header implementations and privacy compliance features.
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.
