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

The Georgia Bulldog Club is a well-established fundraising organization affiliated with the University of Georgia Athletic Association. It focuses on supporting student-athlete scholarships, facilities, and operational funding for 21 varsity sports programs. The website serves as a key communication and engagement platform for donors, fans, and stakeholders, providing information on ticketing, giving opportunities, and upcoming events. The organization holds a strong market position within collegiate athletics fundraising, leveraging official university branding and social media channels to maintain trust and visibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Yoast SEO for optimization. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility basics, with moderate performance. SEO practices are well implemented with structured data and meta tags. However, some security enhancements such as DNSSEC, Content Security Policy, and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could improve compliance and protection. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent or GDPR indicators. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its business purpose effectively. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing CSP headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, publishing security and incident response policies, and ongoing plugin vulnerability management to strengthen security and compliance 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

7 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 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

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

The Georgia Bulldog Club operates as a non-profit fundraising entity supporting University of Georgia athletics. Its competitive advantage lies in its official university affiliation and established donor base. Revenue streams primarily come from donations, ticket sales, and membership programs. The target customers are university alumni, sports fans, and philanthropic individuals interested in collegiate athletics. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and multiple giving programs. The partnership ecosystem includes ticketing and payment processing through georgiadogs.evenue.net. The organization maintains a focused operational model centered on donor relations and athletics support, with a clear market niche in collegiate sports fundraising.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of DNSSEC, Content Security Policy, and security.txt files indicates gaps in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which may hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms. The use of updated plugins and standard security practices is positive, but further enhancements are recommended to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a child theme of Twenty Twenty-Five. It incorporates modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, Animate.css, and FontAwesome for UI enhancements. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin with structured JSON-LD data and Open Graph tags. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and optimized images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. Accessibility is basic with skip links and semantic HTML but could be improved. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and CSP headers, which are recommended for improved security.
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.
