47/100

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

The website esbl.ee serves as an Estonian sports biographical lexicon, providing historical data and biographies of Estonian sports figures. It is operated by Spin TEK AS, a company registered since 2013, which aligns with the domain age and content maturity. The site targets sports enthusiasts and researchers interested in Estonian sports history. The business model is informational, focusing on archival and reference content rather than commercial services. Technically, the website is built on static HTML enhanced with JavaScript, notably using an outdated jQuery version (1.7.2). There is no evidence of a modern CMS or frameworks, and the site shows basic performance and accessibility features. Mobile optimization is poor, and SEO practices are minimal. Hosting appears to be managed by Spin TEK AS, consistent with the WHOIS data. From a security perspective, the site lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries, which could expose it to vulnerabilities. HTTPS usage and SSL configuration details are not explicitly provided but should be verified. The site implements a cookie consent mechanism and provides a privacy policy document, indicating some compliance with GDPR. However, no terms of service, security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the website is functional and moderately credible but requires technical and security improvements to enhance trust and protect user data. Strategic recommendations include updating JavaScript libraries, implementing security headers, improving SSL configuration, and publishing comprehensive security and contact policies.

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

6 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

    • 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

    • High

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ESBL.ee occupies a niche market as a national sports biographical lexicon, serving a specialized audience interested in Estonian sports history. Its competitive advantage lies in its archival content and historical records, which are not widely available elsewhere. The business model is informational, likely funded or supported by cultural or sports organizations, as indicated by partner links to regional development and sports bodies. Revenue streams are not evident from the site, suggesting a non-commercial or grant-supported operation. The partnership ecosystem includes Estonian regional development and sports organizations, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators are limited, with no visible commercial expansion or digital modernization. Strategic observations suggest the need for modernization and enhanced digital presence to increase reach and engagement.

Security posture

The current security posture of esbl.ee is basic with notable gaps. The use of an outdated jQuery library (version 1.7.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate some GDPR awareness, but the lack of contact information and security policies weakens compliance posture. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. Overall, the site should prioritize updating libraries, implementing security headers, and publishing security policies to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement modern HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Verify and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure data in transit.
  4. Publish clear security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using static HTML with JavaScript enhancements, primarily jQuery 1.7.2, which is outdated and potentially vulnerable. No modern CMS or frameworks are detected, indicating a legacy or custom-built site. The CSS is linked externally but minimal. Hosting is managed by Spin TEK AS, consistent with WHOIS data. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices. SEO is basic with meta description present but no Open Graph or structured data detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks modern technical implementations such as responsive design frameworks or progressive web app features. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and lack of security headers, posing risks to business continuity and user trust.
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.
