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

The European Olympic Committees (EOC) is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the fundamental principles of Olympism across Europe. The website serves as the official digital presence for the EOC, providing comprehensive information about its activities, events, awards, and news. It targets Olympic committees, athletes, sports organizations, and the general public interested in European Olympic sports. The organization holds a strong market position as the continental association for European Olympic Committees and organizes major sports events such as the European Games and the European Youth Olympic Festival. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform with popular plugins like WPBakery Page Builder and integrates Bootstrap for responsive design. It employs Google Analytics for traffic analysis and Mailchimp for newsletter subscriptions. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and offers good SEO and accessibility features, though some improvements in accessibility could be made. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong security headers and secure forms that include consent checkboxes. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and does not publish a security incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights, but the website's branding, content quality, and external partnerships strongly support its legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, publishing security policies, and enhancing accessibility to further strengthen the site's security posture and user trust.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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 · found on this site
  • 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 EOC operates as a key non-profit entity within the European sports ecosystem, focusing on Olympic sports promotion and event organization. Its business model revolves around collaboration with national Olympic committees and international sports bodies. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong branding and content that supports its mission. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, partnerships, and event-related funding. The target audience includes sports professionals, athletes, media, and sports fans. The organization maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with official Olympic event sites and international sports organizations, enhancing its market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and regular event updates. The website's strategic positioning as the official European Olympic body is clear and well communicated.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers that protect against common web vulnerabilities. Forms are designed with privacy in mind, requiring explicit user consent for data processing. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a published incident response plan or vulnerability disclosure policy represents a compliance gap. The site does not implement a cookie consent banner, which is recommended for GDPR compliance. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from formalizing incident response and transparency policies to enhance trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Publish a security incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications or compliance badges to strengthen trust signals.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Analytics and Mailchimp for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads with moderate performance, optimized for mobile devices with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence, though performance tuning and accessibility improvements could be considered to enhance overall user experience and 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.
