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

The website www.saints.com.au is the official digital presence of the St Kilda Football Club, a professional Australian Rules Football team. It serves as a comprehensive platform for fans and members, offering news, video content, membership services, ticketing, and merchandise sales. The site is well-branded and targets sports enthusiasts and the club's community. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including React, video streaming via Video.js, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The website is mobile-optimized and provides a fast, accessible user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses service workers, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies visible in the main content, which is a compliance gap. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy restrictions, but the site’s legitimacy is supported by official branding and partner domains. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures 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. 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 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 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

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

St Kilda Football Club operates in the sports and media sector, leveraging its official website to engage fans, sell memberships, tickets, and merchandise, and provide up-to-date content. The club maintains partnerships with membership and merchandise platforms, as well as corporate hospitality services. The business model focuses on community engagement and monetization through digital channels. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a strong brand presence in Australia. The integration of multiple external domains and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The absence of detailed WHOIS data is typical for privacy-conscious organizations. The club’s market position as an AFL team is well established, and the website supports this with rich content and official social media links.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of service workers, and integration of monitoring tools like New Relic. However, the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, absence of explicit security headers in the HTML, and no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the source content. The extensive use of third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risk, necessitating clear user consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and compliance with privacy regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy laws.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Ensure all recommended security headers are explicitly set and documented.

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack centered on React for frontend rendering, with video content managed via Video.js. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management, Adobe DTM for tag deployment, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with service worker caching. The site does not reveal its CMS or hosting provider explicitly. The use of multiple external analytics and advertising domains indicates a complex ecosystem that requires careful privacy management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and modern, supporting a high-quality user experience.
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.
