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

The Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français (CNOSF) is a recognized public utility association established in 1972, serving as the national Olympic and sports committee for France. It represents over 110 national sports federations and 180,000 sports associations, positioning itself as the leading authority in French sports governance and Olympic representation. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for institutional information, athlete services, event coverage, and resources related to the French Olympic movement. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks including Nuxt.js and Vue.js, with Bootstrap 5 for styling. It leverages a Drupal backend for content management and is hosted behind Cloudflare for performance and security. The site implements strong security measures such as a valid SSL certificate, HSTS with subdomain inclusion, and uses a cookie consent management tool (tarteaucitron) to comply with privacy regulations. Analytics are handled via Matomo, emphasizing privacy-conscious tracking. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices with no detected major vulnerabilities, though it lacks DNSSEC and CAA records which could enhance domain security. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, the site maintains a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with GDPR requirements. Strategically, CNOSF should consider enabling modern TLS protocols, implementing DNSSEC, and publishing a security.txt file to improve transparency and security posture. Enhancing public visibility of security policies and incident response procedures would further strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

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

5 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

CNOSF holds a pivotal role in the French sports ecosystem as the official Olympic committee, providing governance, support, and representation for a vast network of sports federations and associations. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on promoting Olympic values, supporting athlete development, and managing major sports events and delegations. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with governmental bodies, international sports organizations, and commercial partners such as Airbnb, Coca-Cola, and Le Coq Sportif. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content covering institutional information, event news, athlete services, and educational resources. The target audience includes sports professionals, athletes, media, and the general public interested in French sports and Olympic activities. CNOSF's market position is that of a national leader with significant influence in sports policy and international sports diplomacy. Growth indicators include active engagement in major upcoming events like Paris 2024 and Milan Cortina 2026, as well as initiatives in sustainability and social responsibility. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, spanning global brands and local organizations, enhancing CNOSF's reach and impact.

Security posture

The security posture of the CNOSF website is robust, featuring a valid SSL certificate issued by a trusted authority and the implementation of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with inclusion of subdomains. The absence of vulnerable protocols and cipher suites, along with no detection of critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE, indicates a well-maintained security configuration. However, the lack of DNSSEC and CAA records suggests potential areas for strengthening domain security. The site employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, enhancing user privacy and data protection. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly disclosed, which may limit transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, CNOSF demonstrates a good security maturity level but could benefit from enhanced domain security measures and clearer communication of security policies and incident response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure and compatible connections.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain integrity.
  3. Add CAA DNS records to restrict certificate issuance to authorized CAs.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and contact information.
  5. Enhance public documentation of security policies and incident response procedures to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, leveraging Bootstrap 5 for responsive design. It is powered by a Drupal backend, as inferred from REST API structures and entity types. Hosting and security are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security features. The site uses Matomo for analytics, emphasizing privacy. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5.7 seconds and a page size of about 22.5 KB. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, with comprehensive navigation and content structure. SEO practices are well implemented with appropriate meta tags, Open Graph data, and canonical links. Technical risks include the absence of modern TLS protocols and missing DNS security extensions, which could be addressed to improve overall infrastructure security and reliability.
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.
