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

AFRICA&SPORT is a small Italian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social inclusion through sport activities both in Italy and African countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. The organization engages communities by supporting projects that combine passion for sport with commitment to Africa. Their market position is niche, focusing on charitable and social initiatives with a clear target audience of socially conscious individuals and communities interested in sport and African development. Technically, the website is built on a modern Angular 14 framework, utilizing Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and embedded social media and video content from Facebook and YouTube. The site is hosted likely by Aruba.it and includes Google Analytics with IP anonymization. The website is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features and comprehensive SEO optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response information, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities but would benefit from improved security best practices. Overall, AFRICA&SPORT presents a trustworthy and professional online presence for a small non-profit. However, it should prioritize implementing privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response details to enhance compliance and security posture. These improvements will strengthen user trust and reduce potential risks associated with data protection and security.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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

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.

Business context

Business profile

AFRICA&SPORT operates as a non-profit organization focusing on social inclusion through sport, targeting communities in Italy and Africa. Their business model revolves around community engagement, fundraising, and organizing sport-related events to support social projects. The organization leverages partnerships and social media to increase visibility and participation. Their competitive advantage lies in their niche focus on African social projects combined with sport, appealing to donors and volunteers interested in these causes. The presence of reviews and social media links indicates active community involvement. Growth indicators include ongoing events and social campaigns. However, the lack of detailed business data such as founding year or parent company limits deeper analysis.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Google Analytics configured to anonymize IP addresses. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating a gap in security readiness and transparency. The contact form collects user data but lacks visible security assurances or CAPTCHA mechanisms. There are no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Compliance with GDPR is questionable due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 14, a modern and robust front-end framework, indicating a good level of technical maturity. It uses standard web fonts from Google Fonts and iconography from Font Awesome. Embedded content includes Google Maps and YouTube videos, enhancing user engagement. Hosting appears to be with Aruba.it, a reputable Italian provider. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear structure but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built solution. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
