75/100

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

The European Handball Federation (EHF) operates a comprehensive and professionally designed website serving as the central hub for European handball competitions, news, media, and fan engagement. The site offers extensive information on club and national team competitions, development programs, and services such as media accreditation and ticketing. The EHF positions itself as the authoritative body for handball in Europe with a strong digital presence and multiple linked domains supporting its ecosystem. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks including Vue.js, integrates advanced analytics tools like Segment and Google Tag Manager, and uses a robust cookie consent mechanism via Iubenda, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent with per-purpose control, though explicit security headers could be more visible. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable anomaly that slightly impacts trustworthiness, though the professional nature of the site mitigates concerns. Overall, the EHF website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with strong content quality and privacy compliance. The main risk lies in the missing WHOIS data, which should be monitored. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, improving contact information visibility, and regular audits of third-party scripts to maintain security posture.

  1. 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.

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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

The EHF holds a leading position in European sports federations, focusing on handball. Its business model revolves around organizing competitions, media rights, marketing, and fan engagement. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, ticket sales, media rights, and merchandise through its official shop. The target audience includes handball fans, athletes, media professionals, and partners across Europe. The federation maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with dedicated domains for competitions, media, and youth development. Growth indicators include expanding competitions and digital media offerings. The website's comprehensive content and event coverage reflect a well-established organization with a clear market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of reputable analytics and consent management platforms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly visible in the provided data and should be verified. The lack of visible incident response or security policy pages is a gap. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and warrants attention. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR and privacy best practices but could improve transparency on security policies and incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Increase visibility and accessibility of contact information, including official emails and phone numbers, to improve business credibility and user trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures on the website to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on Vue.js for frontend interactivity, supported by Axios for HTTP requests and Lodash for utility functions. It integrates Flickity for carousels and uses Typeform for embedded forms. Analytics are managed via Segment and Google Tag Manager, with TikTok pixel for marketing. Cookie consent is managed by Iubenda, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and scripts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and modern, supporting a high-quality user experience.
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.
