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

Playfly Sports is a sports marketing, media, and technology company focused on maximizing revenue through digital solutions including live game streaming, fan engagement, and sponsorship sales. The company targets sports teams, collegiate and professional sports organizations, and brand sponsors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design and clear business messaging. Technically, the site uses WordPress CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain status locks but lacks advanced DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve in security and privacy 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

5 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 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 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';…

  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. 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

Playfly Sports holds a strong market position as a leading revenue maximizer in the US sports industry, leveraging partnerships with major sports teams and leagues. Their business model integrates media rights management, digital streaming, and fan engagement technology. The company has grown rapidly since its founding in 2020, focusing on high school, collegiate, esports, and professional sports sectors. Their partnership ecosystem is extensive, including major NBA, MLB, and NHL teams. The company emphasizes data-driven approaches and digital transformation in sports marketing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Provide clear company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end using JavaScript and jQuery libraries. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. No major technical debt or errors were detected. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy based on registrar and nameservers. Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
