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

Sporting Code is a specialized digital agency focused on delivering tailored digital solutions for the sports industry, including website development, e-commerce, digital marketing, and design services. Their market position is that of a niche provider serving a broad range of sports organizations from grassroots clubs to national governing bodies, primarily in Australia. The company demonstrates a strong brand presence with professional design, client testimonials, and a clear service portfolio. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy restrictions is noted but does not detract significantly from the site's trustworthiness given the strong business indicators. Overall, Sporting Code presents a low-risk profile with a professional online presence, though enhancements in privacy compliance and security headers would further strengthen their posture.

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. 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

  2. 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

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

Sporting Code operates in a specialized niche within the digital agency sector, focusing exclusively on sports organizations. Their competitive advantage lies in their deep understanding of the sports community and tailored digital solutions that address unique industry needs. Revenue streams likely include project-based website development, ongoing website management, digital marketing campaigns, and e-commerce platform development. The company targets sports brands, clubs, leagues, and governing bodies, indicating a B2B business model with potential for long-term client relationships. The presence of notable clients and testimonials suggests a growing reputation and stable market presence. Partnerships with platforms like Webflow and use of advanced analytics tools indicate a commitment to leveraging technology for competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. The inclusion of tracking and analytics scripts is managed asynchronously to reduce performance impact. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published incident response policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism, which may pose regulatory risks in some jurisdictions. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small digital agency but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response and security policy page to demonstrate preparedness and build trust with clients and visitors.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy policies and data handling practices to ensure full compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, a modern no-code/low-code platform that enables rapid development and deployment. The tech stack includes popular analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Nocodelytics, indicating a mature approach to user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility and SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. The use of asynchronous script loading and deferred JavaScript enhances performance. There is no evidence of technical debt or legacy technologies. Opportunities exist to further modernize security configurations and enhance 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.
