63/100

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

Academy of Sports is an established German educational institution specializing in part-time professional training and continuing education in fitness, nutrition, fitness management, and e-sports since 2005. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image targeting individuals seeking specialized education in these sectors. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and push notification services, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed privacy policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, and content is safe for general audiences.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

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

  • Security headers: 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 Academy of Sports operates in the education sector with a focus on fitness and e-sports training. Its business model revolves around offering professional part-time courses and certifications. The market position is solid given its longevity since 2005. The website integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user engagement, suggesting an active approach to digital marketing and customer interaction. However, the absence of explicit contact details and legal documents on the site may limit trust for some users. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, which are positive security and privacy practices. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and others reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security incident contact information, which are recommended for improved security culture and incident response readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including security incident response contacts.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of standard web technologies including jQuery, Modernizr, and Velocity.js for UI effects, integrated with Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. Push notifications are handled via CleverPush, and live chat is enabled through Userlike. Hosting appears to be managed via DomainControl nameservers, likely GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and viewport settings. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve load times. There is no detected CMS from the provided data.
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.
