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

Sportium operates as a major player in the sports betting and online casino industry, targeting Spanish-speaking customers with a broad offering of betting options and live events. The website emphasizes its official sponsorships with prominent sports entities such as Manchester City and the Kings League, positioning itself as a reputable and established brand in the gambling sector. The business model combines both physical points of sale and online platforms to reach a wide audience. Technically, the website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery, with a focus on responsive design and user experience. However, the technical infrastructure lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and user trust. The site uses AJAX for form submission and integrates external services for geolocation and token generation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but does not exhibit strong security header implementations or explicit incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency and trustworthiness, although the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, but improvements in security best practices and privacy compliance are recommended. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good business credibility but technical and compliance gaps that should be addressed to enhance security posture and 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

8 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Sportium holds a strong market position as a large-scale sports betting and casino operator with extensive physical and online presence. Its official sponsorships provide competitive advantages and brand recognition. The business model relies on a combination of retail points and digital services, targeting adult sports bettors primarily in Spain. Revenue streams likely include betting commissions and casino gaming. The partnership ecosystem includes major sports franchises, enhancing market reach. Growth indicators include a large number of betting modalities and live events. Strategic observations suggest a focus on expanding digital engagement and exclusive member benefits.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website employs HTTPS and basic form validation but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating gaps in security governance and transparency. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through privacy and terms pages, but cookie consent is missing. Data protection practices could be improved by adding clear contact channels for security incidents and enhancing user privacy controls. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust and may complicate incident attribution. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalization and enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness for security events.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve the lack of WHOIS data to improve domain transparency and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery, enabling responsive design and dynamic form handling. External dependencies include Google Fonts and a geolocation API. Performance is moderate with video background and multiple images, which may impact load times on slower connections. No CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight build. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack with enhanced security features, SEO improvements, and accessibility enhancements to reduce risks and improve user engagement.
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.
