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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

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

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

FIBA holds a dominant market position as the official basketball authority globally, leveraging its website to disseminate event information and engage fans. The business model focuses on media content delivery, event promotion, and partnership sponsorships. The presence of partner domains like Champions League Basketball and Courtside 1891 indicates a strategic partnership ecosystem. The website's content quality and branding consistency support strong credibility and user trust. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, advertising, and media rights. The target audience is broad, encompassing basketball enthusiasts and stakeholders in the sports industry.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and bot mitigation via Google reCAPTCHA. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection practices. Overall, the security posture is robust but could benefit from enhanced communication on security processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Provide clear security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance incident response transparency by publishing security incident handling procedures.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve security headers and privacy compliance measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and scalable technology stack including Next.js and React, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile optimization. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure, leveraging cloud infrastructure for reliability. The site employs Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with minimal technical debt.
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.
