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

The European Youth Chess Championship 2025 website serves as the official online presence for a major youth chess event organized by the Montenegro Chess Federation and the European Chess Union. It provides comprehensive event details including registration, official information, venue, accommodation, travel, rules, prizes, and contact pages. The site targets youth chess players and national federations across Europe, positioning itself as a key resource for participants and stakeholders. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with popular plugins like Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder, delivering a modern and responsive user experience with good SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner present, but lacks detailed GDPR compliance indicators or terms of service. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its event purpose, though it could benefit from enhanced security and compliance 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. 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)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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 website represents a small but important event organization entity focused on youth chess in Europe. Its business model revolves around event promotion and participant registration, supported by official chess federations. The site demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals through official logos and documentation. The partnership with 2dnetwork for site development indicates a professional approach to digital presence. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for contact via web forms or official federation channels. The domain age aligns with the event year, reinforcing legitimacy. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and improving compliance and security features.

Security posture

The site benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain transfer protection, which are foundational security measures. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts on the site limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended best practices and publishing clear security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish detailed security and incident response policies on the website with clear contact channels.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by expanding the privacy policy and adding terms of service.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, leveraging popular plugins for page building and sliders. The tech stack includes modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. Google Fonts and FontAwesome are used for typography and icons. The site is hosted likely via NameCheap given the registrar, with SSL properly configured. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but include potential outdated plugins or missing security headers.
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.
