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

The Washington Figure Skating Club (WFSC) is a long-established non-profit organization dedicated to promoting figure skating in the Washington, DC area. Founded in 1938 and sanctioned by US Figure Skating, the club offers a variety of skating disciplines and community programs. The website serves as an information hub for members and the public, providing details on membership, competitions, testing, coaching, and volunteer opportunities. It also hosts a memorial fund and club ice registration, reflecting active community engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Gravity Forms and jQuery libraries. It uses Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and content quality. However, some technical improvements could be made, including adding security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms but lacks certain HTTP security headers. The WHOIS data is malformed and unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and social presence support legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for a regional sports non-profit. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would strengthen its posture and user trust.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

WFSC occupies a niche market as a regional figure skating club with a long history and community focus. Its competitive advantage lies in its sanctioned status by US Figure Skating and comprehensive service offerings including testing, competitions, and coaching directories. The business model is membership and event driven, supported by donations and volunteer engagement. The target customers are figure skaters and their families in the Washington, DC area. Growth indicators include active social media, memorial fund initiatives, and club ice sessions. Partnerships with EntryEeze for membership and event management streamline operations. The organization maintains a clear non-profit identity with tax-exempt status, enhancing donor confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling via Gravity Forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy details limits GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder timely security issue management. The WHOIS data is unavailable, reducing transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Create a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to ensure compliance with WCAG standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on WordPress CMS using standard plugins such as Gravity Forms and jQuery libraries, indicating a common and maintainable technology stack. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for design and analytics purposes. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is malformed, suggesting possible privacy protection or registry issues. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit but requires updates to meet modern security and privacy 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.
