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

The Deutscher Schützenbund website represents a well-established German shooting sports federation focused on promoting various shooting disciplines including archery and firearms. The organization targets sports enthusiasts, youth, and members of the shooting community in Germany, providing event information, youth programs, and an online shop. The website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, indicating a mature technical infrastructure with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and social media integration reflects a reasonable level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and published privacy or security policies indicates room for improvement. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy, with a moderate risk profile and recommendations to enhance compliance and security transparency.

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. 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 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

  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';…

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 Deutscher Schützenbund holds a strong national position as the governing body for shooting sports in Germany. Its business model is non-profit and service-oriented, focusing on community engagement, event organization, and merchandise sales through a partner shop. The organization leverages partnerships such as the DSB-Shop for revenue streams and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and events, targeting a specialized sports segment. Growth indicators include promotion of major events like DIE FINALS 2025. The partnership ecosystem appears limited but focused on relevant domains.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented with opt-in and revocation capabilities. However, the lack of published privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts limits transparency and compliance assurance. No security headers were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced security policies, explicit incident response channels, and implementation of security headers to improve its security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring a stable and scalable platform. The use of jQuery and Google Analytics is standard for interactive and analytical capabilities. The site loads a cookie consent plugin by Dirk Persky, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting is managed via GoDaddy's DNS services. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is an opportunity to improve technical implementation by adding security headers and enhancing 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.
