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

First Vienna Football Club 1894 is Austria's oldest football club, operating a comprehensive website that serves fans, members, and the general public with information about teams, matches, tickets, and merchandise. The club maintains a solid market position within Austrian football, offering multiple teams including men's, women's, and special needs squads. The website reflects a medium-sized sports organization with a focus on community engagement and sponsorship partnerships. Technically, the site uses established JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Featherlight, integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and employs Keycloak for authentication services. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though there is room for improvement in security headers and public security policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though it lacks explicit incident response and security policy disclosures.

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. 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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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
    • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 · 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

The club's business model revolves around sports event management, ticket sales, merchandising, and membership services. It targets football fans and community members primarily in Austria. The presence of multiple official social media channels and sponsorships indicates a well-established partnership ecosystem. The club leverages digital platforms for fan engagement and commerce, including dedicated ticketing and webshop domains. The historic nature of the club (founded 1894) adds to its brand strength and market credibility. Growth opportunities may include enhanced digital marketing and expanded e-commerce offerings. The club's operations appear stable with consistent branding and professional content presentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are found, which could impact transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Keycloak for authentication suggests a secure identity management approach. Overall, the security posture is sound but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding explicit data retention policies and privacy notices related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery and Featherlight for UI components, integrated with Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. Authentication is managed via Keycloak, indicating a modern approach to identity management. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could improve by adopting modern JavaScript frameworks and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
