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

SportsPro Media operates a professional sports industry news and business intelligence platform targeting international sports professionals and enthusiasts. The website offers content, events, and membership-based business intelligence tools, positioning itself as a key media player in the sports sector. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, integrating multiple marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and OneSignal for push notifications. The site demonstrates good SEO, mobile optimization, and user experience with a consistent brand presence and comprehensive content offerings. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and some security best practices, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. The absence of WHOIS registration data reduces domain trustworthiness, suggesting privacy protection or registration anomalies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security hardening.

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

3 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 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

SportsPro Media holds a strong market position as a specialized media and intelligence provider in the sports industry. Its business model includes content publishing, membership subscriptions, and event hosting, targeting a niche audience of sports industry stakeholders. The company leverages partnerships with communities like Blackbook Motorsport and NEW ERA to expand its ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include advertising, subscriptions, and event sponsorships. The website's extensive use of third-party marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Growth indicators include active content updates, diverse content types (news, podcasts, reports), and a multi-channel social media presence. Strategic observations suggest focusing on improving contact transparency and security policies to enhance business credibility.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of reCAPTCHA for forms. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The membership and login systems imply authentication mechanisms, but no detailed incident response or security policy information is publicly available. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with recommendations to enhance header policies, conduct regular security audits, and publish security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  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. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve user experience for all users.
  5. Increase transparency by providing verified company contact emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics, Hotjar), marketing automation (HubSpot), push notifications (OneSignal), and advertising (Google DoubleClick). The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses CDN resources for fonts and libraries, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive ad sizes. Accessibility features are basic but could be improved. The technical stack is mature but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure plugin and theme updates to mitigate security risks. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media website with room for performance and security enhancements.
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.
