50/100

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

FIFA.com is the official website of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the global governing body for football. The organization operates as a large, internationally recognized entity headquartered in Switzerland, with a long history dating back to 1904. The website serves a global audience including football fans, media, and sports professionals, providing information and services related to international football competitions and governance. The business model is non-profit and focused on sports regulation and promotion. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Adobe Launch, and OneTrust for cookie consent, hosted on Microsoft Azure and delivered via Akamai CDN. The site integrates numerous third-party services for analytics, advertising, and social media engagement. However, the provided HTML snapshot indicates client-side rendering with minimal static content, which may impact SEO and accessibility. From a security perspective, while several security headers and a comprehensive Content Security Policy are implemented, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, which is a critical vulnerability. TLS protocols are disabled, and some security headers like X-XSS-Protection are disabled, reducing the overall security posture. No privacy policy or terms of service were found in the provided content, although a cookie consent mechanism is present. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact. Overall, the website demonstrates moderate business credibility but suffers from critical security issues that must be addressed to ensure user trust and compliance. Strategic improvements in SSL configuration, privacy documentation, and security best practices are recommended to enhance the website's security and compliance posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

FIFA holds a dominant position in the international sports federation sector, governing football worldwide. Its competitive advantage lies in its exclusive authority over international football competitions and rule-making. The business model is non-profit, funded through event revenues, sponsorships, and broadcasting rights. The target customers include football fans, media, sponsors, and national football associations. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers, advertising networks, and analytics services. Growth indicators include digital engagement through multiple platforms and global reach. Operationally, FIFA leverages cloud hosting and modern web technologies to deliver content and services globally.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with critical gaps. The invalid SSL certificate and disabled modern TLS protocols expose users to potential interception and downgrade attacks. The presence of a strong Content Security Policy is positive but weakened by unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval allowances. Security headers are mostly present but some, like X-XSS-Protection, are disabled. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, indicating a lack of transparency in security management. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy policy documentation. The extensive use of third-party tracking and advertising services increases the attack surface and privacy risks.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately fix the SSL certificate to enable valid HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 support.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Enable and properly configure security headers including X-XSS-Protection or rely on CSP.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  5. Review and tighten the Content Security Policy to remove unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval directives.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (React) with client-side rendering, which may impact SEO and initial load performance. Hosting is on Microsoft Azure with Akamai CDN for global delivery. The tech stack includes Adobe Launch for tag management, OneTrust for cookie consent, and THEOplayer for video playback. Performance metrics are not available, but the presence of multiple preloads and preconnects suggests optimization efforts. Accessibility and mobile optimization appear basic but not fully assessed due to limited content snapshot. Technical debt includes reliance on unsafe CSP directives and lack of valid SSL configuration, which pose operational risks.
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.
