Security score

85/100

Risk levelLow

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

FC St.Gallen 1879 is a historic Swiss football club with a well-established digital presence, including live match tracking, news, video content, and an e-commerce platform for merchandise. The website is built on Shopify, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party analytics tools to engage fans and customers effectively. The technical infrastructure is solid, with good mobile optimization and performance, although some SEO and accessibility aspects could be improved. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but explicit security policies and headers could be enhanced. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet GDPR requirements. Overall, the site reflects a professional sports organization with a medium-sized digital footprint and good business credibility.

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

2 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.

    • 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The club operates primarily in the sports and entertainment sector, targeting football fans and supporters in Switzerland and beyond. Its business model combines sports team management with merchandising and fan engagement through digital content. The use of Shopify indicates a focus on e-commerce revenue streams. The website's integration with social media and live match data suggests a strategy to maintain strong fan loyalty and community interaction. The absence of detailed corporate information or contact details on the site limits transparency but is typical for sports clubs. The club's long history and consistent branding position it as a reputable entity in Swiss football.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses several security best practices, including third-party CAPTCHA services and secure API authorization tokens. However, the lack of explicit security headers and absence of published security or incident response policies reduce transparency and may expose the site to certain risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were detected in the provided content. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. The site would benefit from publishing clear security policies and improving header configurations to enhance protection against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Add visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve site reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, GSAP, and Slick Carousel for dynamic content and animations. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Aico Analytics for tracking and marketing. The site uses CDN hosting via Shopify, ensuring good availability and moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features appear basic. The site lacks structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be improved with enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security header configurations.
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.
