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

The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) operates the FIM Awards website to celebrate and recognize world champions in motorcycling disciplines globally. The site serves as an informational and promotional platform for annual award ceremonies, trophies, and related motorcycling events. It targets motorcycling enthusiasts, sports professionals, and stakeholders within the motorcycling sports community. The organization positions itself as a reputable international non-profit entity dedicated to the sport's promotion and recognition. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Matomo for analytics, and integrates Google Maps API for location services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and a professional design, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reputable analytics tools. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and branding strongly indicate a legitimate organization. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the FIM Awards, but improvements in transparency regarding domain registration, security policies, and contact information would enhance trust and compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and verifying domain registration details to strengthen credibility and security 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

  3. 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';…

  4. 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

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

FIM Awards operates within the transportation and non-profit sectors, focusing on motorcycling sports recognition. Its market position is that of an international governing body with a strong brand presence and a dedicated audience of motorcycling enthusiasts and professionals. The business model revolves around event organization, media publication, and award distribution, supported by partnerships with industry-related companies. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, partnerships, and event-related activities. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized brands such as Motul and media outlets like Motosprint. Growth indicators include consistent annual events and active social media engagement. The organization's operations reflect a stable and reputable presence in the motorcycling sports domain.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and the use of trusted analytics platforms. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No direct contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures are provided, which limits incident response readiness. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or recent registration, which should be clarified. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with web accessibility standards and broaden audience reach.
  5. Maintain regular audits of third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise and non-profit organizations. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Matomo for analytics, indicating a balanced approach to data collection and privacy. The use of Google Maps API suggests location-based features or event mapping. The site loads multiple CSS and JavaScript assets efficiently, though performance is moderate, possibly due to the number of external scripts. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could be addressed.
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.
