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

Sportograf operates as a specialized e-commerce platform focused on sports event photography, offering customers the ability to find and purchase photos from various sporting events. The company positions itself as a niche player with a 20-year history, targeting sports enthusiasts and event participants globally. The website demonstrates a professional design with consistent branding and a clear business model centered on photography sales. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including React and Material-UI, integrates secure payment gateways such as Braintree and Amazon Pay, and maintains GDPR compliance through privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and secure payment methods, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the overall digital presence and social media engagement support legitimacy. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility to further strengthen 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

Sportograf's market positioning as a dedicated sports photography provider leverages its long-standing presence since 2005. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized event coverage and an established e-commerce platform facilitating photo sales. Revenue streams are primarily from photo purchases linked to sports events. The target customer segments include athletes, sports fans, and event organizers. The company maintains an ecosystem of partner services such as helpdesk and blog subdomains, enhancing customer engagement and support. Growth indicators include a broad event portfolio and active social media channels. Strategic observations suggest opportunities in expanding digital marketing, improving security transparency, and enhancing user accessibility to capture a wider audience.

Security posture

Sportograf exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and integration of reputable payment gateways, reducing risks related to payment fraud. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-compliant privacy policy indicates attention to data protection regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts, and no visible vulnerability disclosure program represent gaps that could impact incident readiness and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Enhancing these areas would improve compliance and resilience against emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Improve website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies, likely React with Material-UI components, ensuring a responsive and visually consistent user interface. Integration with Braintree and Amazon Pay indicates a robust payment infrastructure. External resources include Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected, though explicit hosting provider information is not available. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business model effectively but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility improvements.
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.
