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

Scena Performance is a small, specialized event organization company focused on trail running, triathlon, and endurance sports events primarily in Northern California and globally. The company operates a WordPress-based website that provides event information, registration links, and blog updates to its target audience of endurance athletes and sports enthusiasts. The business model centers on organizing and promoting endurance sports events ranging from 5K to 50K races and related festivals. The website demonstrates consistent branding and a good level of content quality, supporting its niche market position. Technically, the website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, and several marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is hosted likely via GoDaddy, with a valid SSL certificate ensuring HTTPS security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) implementation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, indicating partial privacy compliance. Tracking scripts are present but without clear user consent mechanisms, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a long-standing registration without privacy protection, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and trustworthy for its business purpose but would benefit from enhanced security practices and privacy compliance improvements to reduce risk and increase user trust.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Scena Performance occupies a niche market in endurance sports event organization, focusing on trail running and triathlon events in Northern California and beyond. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized event offerings and a loyal community of endurance athletes. The business model relies on event registrations and promotions, leveraging online presence and social media engagement. Growth indicators include regular event scheduling and active blog updates. The company maintains partnerships with event registration platforms like UltraSignup. The ecosystem includes social media channels for marketing and community building. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding digital marketing, improving privacy compliance, and enhancing security posture to support sustainable growth.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit security policies and incident response contacts reduces transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms despite the use of tracking pixels. The business impact of these gaps includes potential user trust erosion and regulatory risk. Enhancing security controls and compliance measures is recommended to strengthen the security culture and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner and update cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure secure integrations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Bootstrap framework for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and MonsterInsights. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement and is hosted likely by GoDaddy based on WHOIS data and nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are technical risks. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
