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

Summit Athletic Media is a well-established, award-winning creative agency specializing in sports marketing and design, serving athletic teams and organizations since 1997. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including branding, media guides, video production, and social media marketing, positioning itself as a niche leader in the sports media sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with detailed case studies showcasing notable clients such as ESPN and Utah State. Technically, the website employs modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and lazy loading techniques, with integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager for performance and user behavior tracking. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Amazon Registrar, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks important security headers and DNSSEC. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The domain registration is consistent with the business history, showing a long-standing and legitimate presence. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and formalized security policies to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

Summit Athletic Media operates in the specialized sports marketing and media design niche, targeting collegiate and professional athletic organizations. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history, award-winning creative services, and strong client portfolio. The business model is service-based, focusing on creative and strategic marketing solutions. Revenue streams likely include project-based fees for design, branding, and media production. The company maintains an active presence on social media platforms and job boards, indicating growth and recruitment efforts. Partnerships with platforms like Teamwork Online suggest integration with industry hiring ecosystems. The company’s operations appear stable with consistent branding and a clear market position in the sports media industry.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. The use of third-party analytics scripts requires ongoing monitoring to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with lazy loading implemented via lozad.js to optimize performance. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking and analytics. The site uses SVG images and video backgrounds for enhanced visual appeal. Hosting appears to be managed via Amazon Registrar infrastructure, suggesting reliable DNS and hosting services. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social media sharing. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in video loading and script management. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture.
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.
