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

The website www.sbjnewvoicesunder30.com is an event-focused platform operated by Leaders Group, showcasing the 2025 New Voices Under 30 awards recognizing young leaders in the sports business industry. The site provides detailed event information, venue details, nomination calls, and sponsor acknowledgments, targeting sports business professionals and industry insiders. The business model centers on event recognition and networking within the sports media sector, positioning itself as a niche leader in this domain. Technically, the site leverages the Foleon platform for content delivery, integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and employs modern JavaScript frameworks. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and professional design, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors or broken elements detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks explicit security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and linked to the parent domain sportsbusinessjournal.com, indicating good privacy compliance. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and external references suggest a legitimate operation. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for its event, but the missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, adding explicit security and incident response policies, and monitoring domain registration status to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  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 business operates in the media sector, focusing on sports business event recognition. It leverages partnerships with awardstage.com for nominations and sportsbusinessjournal.com for corporate governance and privacy. The business model is event-driven, generating value through sponsorships, industry networking, and brand positioning. The target audience includes young sports business professionals and industry influencers. The company demonstrates consistent branding and professional content, with moderate size and a clear market niche. Growth indicators include annual event recurrence and active nomination campaigns. The partnership ecosystem is strong, involving recognized platforms and sponsors such as Verizon and Ally. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital engagement and enhance security posture to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are present, indicating gaps in formal security governance. Privacy compliance is strong due to linked comprehensive policies and cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced header implementation, documented incident response, and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to improve governance and user trust.
  3. Monitor and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce risk.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Foleon platform, utilizing modern JavaScript modules and asynchronous loading for analytics scripts. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for user tracking and marketing insights. The hosting appears to be via Foleon's CDN infrastructure, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site structure is clear with semantic HTML elements and meta tags supporting SEO. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. No CMS other than Foleon is detected. 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.
