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

US Odds is a sports betting media website focused on providing news, betting insights, guides, and promotional offers primarily targeting the US sports betting audience. The site operates on a WordPress platform using the jNews theme and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools. While the site demonstrates good content quality, SEO, and mobile optimization, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as direct company contact information, which impacts its privacy compliance and business credibility scores. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but security headers and vulnerability disclosures are missing. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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

US Odds positions itself as a leading sports betting information provider in the US market, leveraging affiliate marketing through sportsbook and DFS site promotions. Its business model relies on content-driven user engagement and monetization via affiliate commissions. The site targets sports bettors seeking expert insights, betting strategies, and promotional offers. The presence of multiple sportsbook affiliate links and promo codes indicates a strong partnership ecosystem. However, the lack of explicit business registration details and contact information limits full business credibility. Growth potential exists given the expanding US sports betting market, but trust and compliance improvements are recommended.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable analytics tools, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page suggest room for improvement in defense-in-depth and transparency. No direct incident response contacts or security policies are visible, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen security posture.
  3. Add a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update WordPress and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the jNews theme and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a modern CMS infrastructure. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags and structured data are properly implemented. However, no hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement by optimizing images and reducing third-party script load. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced for compliance with standards.
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.
