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

The website catchthespirit2024.com serves as the official digital platform for the Women’s EHF EURO 2024 Handball Championship, providing comprehensive event information including news, schedules, host city details, ticketing links, and multimedia content. It targets handball fans and event attendees, positioning itself as the authoritative source for the championship. The site leverages WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Elementor and Yoast SEO, and integrates Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. External partnerships for ticketing and merchandise are clearly linked, enhancing the user journey for event participation. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with multilingual support via WPML. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, though the absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing explicit privacy and terms of service pages. No direct contact information or incident response details are published, which could impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the event, with good content quality and user experience. However, enhancing privacy disclosures, security headers, and contact transparency would strengthen compliance and security posture. The domain registration is consistent with the event timeline and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting legitimacy.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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

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

The website is positioned as the official event site for the Women’s EHF EURO 2024, a major European handball championship. Its business model focuses on event promotion, information dissemination, and facilitating ticket and merchandise sales through trusted external partners. The target audience includes sports fans, attendees, and stakeholders in the handball community. The site benefits from strong partnerships with federations and sponsors, as evidenced by the extensive partner logos and external links. Growth indicators include active news updates, multimedia content, and multilingual support, which broaden reach and engagement. The site’s reliance on external platforms for commerce suggests a lean operational model focused on content and brand management rather than direct sales infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections active. The use of Cookiebot indicates awareness of GDPR cookie consent requirements. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and DNSSEC implementation are notable gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation to meet higher compliance standards and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden site security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It incorporates jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality and styling. Cookiebot manages cookie consent with TCFv2.2 compliance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is multilingual via WPML and includes video content, galleries, and interactive elements. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO metadata is well implemented. The domain is registered with a reputable registrar and uses DNS servers from dns23.hu. No advanced hosting or CDN details were found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for the event’s needs but could improve in security and performance optimization.
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.
