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

The International Workers and Amateurs in Sports Confederation (CSIT) is a well-established non-profit organization founded in 1913, dedicated to promoting amateur and workers' sports globally. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content about their events, social missions, and partnerships with recognized international bodies such as the IOC and SportAccord. Their business model focuses on organizing multi-sport events and fostering social values like sustainability, human rights, and fair play. Technically, the website employs modern web standards with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including a robust cookie consent mechanism powered by Clickskeks. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a positive user experience. While no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, the performance is moderate with good responsiveness. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicate good privacy compliance, although formal security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is justified for this type of organization, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with strong business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, adding a security.txt file, and enhancing HTTP security headers to further strengthen security posture.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

      • 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';…

  3. 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

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

CSIT holds a strong position in the international amateur sports sector, leveraging a broad network of over 80 members across 60 countries and engaging 200 million individual members. Their partnerships with major sports and anti-doping organizations enhance their credibility and influence. The organization targets amateur athletes, workers' sports groups, and international sports communities, focusing on social impact and inclusivity. Revenue streams likely include event hosting, EU co-funded projects, and partnerships. The website's content and structure support growth and engagement, with active social media channels and regular news updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found. However, the absence of a published security policy and vulnerability disclosure process limits transparency. The WHOIS privacy protection is appropriate and does not raise concerns. To improve, the organization should implement HTTP security headers, publish a formal security policy, and provide a security contact or vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Include contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including third-party scripts for cookie management and social media integration. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key assets and lazy loading of images. No CMS or hosting details are explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical implementation is robust but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formal documentation of security practices.
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.
