Risk levelMedium

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

The Deutscher Motor Sport Bund e.V. (DMSB) is the national governing body for motorsport in Germany, serving as a non-profit federation overseeing various motorsport disciplines. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, with a focus on accessibility as evidenced by the integrated accessibility tool. The site targets German motorsport participants and enthusiasts, providing regulatory information, licensing, and event support services. Technically, the site employs modern web standards and includes Google Analytics for user tracking, though it lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy disclosures. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but could be improved by adding security headers and formal security policies. Overall, the domain and website appear legitimate and consistent with the organization's mission, though WHOIS data is minimal.

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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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
  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

DMSB holds a strong market position as the official motorsport federation in Germany, serving a medium-sized organization within the transportation and non-profit sectors. Its business model revolves around governance, licensing, and promotion of motorsport activities. The website content and navigation are well-aligned with the target audience, providing comprehensive information on motorsport disciplines and organizational structure. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and user engagement. The use of TYPO3 CMS indicates a mature content management approach, supporting scalability and content management needs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. The integration of Google Analytics without a clear cookie consent mechanism may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Enhancing security policies, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and implementing security headers would strengthen the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to manage user tracking preferences transparently.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and designate a data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. The site uses modern web technologies including SVG for graphics and JavaScript for interactivity. Accessibility is a strong focus, with an advanced accessibility tool integrated directly into the site. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and optimized CSS delivery. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, though no JSON-LD structured data was detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, and no CDN or cloud provider information was found. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and accessible user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
