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

The Central European Anti-Doping Organization (CEADO) is a regional non-profit entity dedicated to strengthening anti-doping systems across Central and Southeastern Europe. It operates as a cooperative network of national anti-doping agencies, providing mentoring, organizing meetings, and promoting compliance with international anti-doping standards. The organization is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and serves a specialized audience of sports and anti-doping stakeholders. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with its mission. Technically, the website employs a mature technology stack including jQuery, Typeahead.js, and Modernizr, hosted on a CMS platform by Internetkonzepte.at. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and incident response information could be improved. From a security and compliance perspective, the site includes a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism consistent with GDPR requirements. However, WHOIS data is unavailable or malformed, limiting domain registration transparency. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is present, and no incident response contacts are provided. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security baseline but could enhance transparency and incident readiness. The overall risk assessment is low, with the main concern being the lack of WHOIS data which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and adding vulnerability disclosure policies to strengthen security posture and stakeholder 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

10 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

CEADO holds a strong regional position as a facilitator and coordinator of anti-doping efforts in Central and Southeastern Europe. Its business model is non-profit and government-aligned, focusing on collaboration and capacity building rather than commercial revenue. The organization benefits from partnerships with national anti-doping agencies and international bodies like WADA. Its target customers are governmental and sports organizations requiring anti-doping support. Growth indicators include recent membership expansion and active event hosting. The partnership ecosystem is robust but could be expanded with clearer digital presence of partners. The website content and structure support CEADO's mission and reinforce its credibility in the anti-doping sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth and transparency. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. No signs of malware, phishing, or other critical vulnerabilities were detected. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trust but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit organization but would benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response contact or security policy page to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration data is complete and publicly accessible to improve trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS by Internetkonzepte.at, leveraging well-known JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Typeahead.js, and Modernizr for enhanced user experience and compatibility. The site uses external CDNs for fonts and icons, improving load times and reliability. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, with responsive design and skip links for navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization by reducing external dependencies and leveraging caching. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
