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

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) operates a comprehensive and professionally designed website serving as the global governing body for skiing and snowboarding. The site provides extensive event calendars, live results, athlete biographies, news, and multimedia content, targeting fans, athletes, and members worldwide. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Next.js and Storyblok CMS, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registrant data and direct company contact emails slightly impacts business credibility. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained, supporting FIS's position as a leading international sports federation.

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

4 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 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';…

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

FIS holds a dominant market position as the international authority for skiing and snowboarding, overseeing thousands of events annually. Its business model centers on governance, event management, and media dissemination. The website supports multiple disciplines and provides detailed competition data, enhancing engagement with athletes and fans. The organization targets a global audience interested in winter sports, leveraging digital platforms including an official app and video streaming service. The lack of visible direct contact details and WHOIS transparency may be due to privacy policies or registry issues but does not detract significantly from operational credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes app stores and media platforms, with no evident commercial advertising or affiliate programs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, robust security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness perception. No dedicated security contact channels were found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing formal security documentation and contact points.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct security contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ for incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering and static asset optimization, contributing to fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The use of Storyblok CMS allows flexible content management. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for consent management. No hosting provider details were explicitly found, but the infrastructure appears robust. The site uses multiple image optimizations and preloads critical assets, indicating attention to performance. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on third-party scripts and the need for continuous security monitoring.
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.
