Eurosport is a leading sports media company providing comprehensive sports news, live streaming, video on-demand, and real-time results primarily targeting Italian-speaking sports fans. As a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, it holds a strong market position in Italy with a large audience base. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure leveraging modern technologies such as React, Next.js, Adobe Launch, and advanced analytics platforms like New Relic and Permutive. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, ensuring a high-quality user experience.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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

Eurosport operates in the media sector, focusing on sports content delivery through multiple platforms including web and mobile apps. Its business model combines subscription services (e.g., MAX) and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships within the Warner Bros. Discovery ecosystem. The company targets sports enthusiasts seeking live events, news, and analysis. Its extensive coverage across various sports and events, coupled with localized content for Italy, positions it as a market leader. The presence of multiple language versions and related domains indicates a broad international footprint. The company leverages advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and monetization strategies.

Security posture

The website employs industry-standard security practices including HTTPS encryption, content security policies, and third-party security and performance monitoring tools such as New Relic. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, ensuring compliance with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies and incident response contacts represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The site would benefit from publishing a dedicated security policy and providing clear channels for reporting security incidents or vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy outlining security controls and practices.
  2. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

Eurosport's website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and fast performance. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and user engagement, including Adobe Launch, Permutive, New Relic, and Batch. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data. The technical infrastructure supports a rich content experience with live updates, video streaming, and personalized user features. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the use of WarnerMedia CDN and related services suggests a robust and scalable environment.
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.
