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

Champions Travel is a medium-sized European e-commerce business specializing in the sale of official sports and event tickets, including football, rugby, boxing, tennis, and motor sports. Founded in 2011, it positions itself as a leading provider in Europe, targeting sports fans and event attendees. The website features a professional design with good navigation and mobile optimization, supported by modern technologies such as Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for consent management. Hosting is provided by Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd., an Irish registrar consistent with the company's European focus. Security is well implemented with HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status, but lacks DNSSEC and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages found. Contact is primarily through forms without explicit emails or phone numbers. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security documentation.

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

3 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 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 company operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on official ticket sales for major European sports leagues and events. Its business model is e-commerce based, offering packages and tickets directly to consumers. The presence of Trustpilot integration indicates a focus on customer trust and reputation. The website targets a broad audience of sports enthusiasts across Europe and internationally. The domain age and registrar information align with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The company leverages third-party services for analytics and consent management but does not publicly disclose detailed business or legal information such as VAT or registration numbers. There is no evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies in the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The domain status clientTransferProhibited prevents unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, and no incident response contacts are visible. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent. The lack of explicit privacy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be enhanced with additional transparency and DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Create and publish a security policy including incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and consent mechanisms to maintain security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, Google Fonts for typography, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags. Consent management is handled by OneTrust, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting is via Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd., a reputable Irish provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The site is mobile optimized with a clear navigation structure. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site lacks DNSSEC which is a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and improved accessibility compliance.
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.
