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

5 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 platform occupies a strong position in the sports media sector, targeting a broad audience of sports fans primarily in the UK and English-speaking markets. Its business model combines free content with subscription-based streaming, supported by advertising revenue. The site integrates with multiple partner domains including Eurosport and MAX, enhancing its content and service ecosystem. The presence of detailed sports categories and personalized features indicates a focus on user engagement and retention. The affiliation with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports adds significant credibility and resources, positioning TNT Sports as a major player in digital sports media.

Security posture

TNT Sports exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and absence of exposed sensitive information. The use of modern frameworks and monitoring tools like New Relic contributes to proactive security and performance management. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be addressed to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional protective headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance incident response information availability with dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue improving privacy compliance by providing clear data retention policies and user control options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile responsiveness. Integration with advanced analytics (New Relic, Permutive) and advertising platforms (Google GPT, Adobe Launch) indicates a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media optimization. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but performance indicators suggest a well-optimized environment. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed, contributing to a high-quality user experience. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities to enhance security headers and formalize compliance documentation.
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.
