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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

FFF holds a dominant market position as the official football federation in France, operating a large-scale digital presence with multiple partner domains for ticketing, merchandise, and fan engagement. The business model is non-profit and focused on sports governance, community engagement, and event management. The website reflects a mature digital ecosystem with integrated marketing and analytics tools, supporting extensive user tracking balanced by GDPR compliance. The partnership ecosystem includes specialized domains for different services, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency. Growth indicators include active content updates and multi-channel engagement. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining strong privacy and security practices given the broad user base and regulatory environment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is high, but improvements could be made by publishing explicit security governance documents and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5, supported by Google Tag Manager and Didomi for consent management. The presence of multiple CSS and JS bundles indicates modular design and optimization efforts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured content. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the use of CDN and external services suggests a robust infrastructure. Technical risks include dependency on third-party scripts and potential complexity in managing consent and tracking across multiple domains.
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.
