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

SportAccord is a globally recognized organization dedicated to connecting International Sport Federations, cities, right holders, and businesses to shape the future of sport. The website reflects a professional and well-structured platform offering information about major events such as the SportAccord Convention and the International Federation Forum. The organization positions itself as a key player in the sports event and federation engagement sector, supported by the International Olympic Committee and a broad network of partners. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern plugins and analytics tools, ensuring a good user experience and performance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and privacy compliance mechanisms like Usercentrics CMP. However, WHOIS data is privacy protected, limiting transparency on domain ownership, though this is common and justified for such entities. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility.

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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

SportAccord operates in the sports event and federation engagement sector, targeting international sports federations, cities, and related businesses. Its business model revolves around organizing flagship events, providing networking platforms, and offering services such as membership applications and sustainability initiatives. The organization enjoys a strong market position supported by reputable partners and endorsements. Revenue streams likely include event participation fees, sponsorships, and service offerings. The website's content and social media presence indicate active engagement with a global audience. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing agencies and newsletter service providers, enhancing outreach and communication. Strategic observations suggest a focus on innovation in sports governance and sustainability, positioning SportAccord as a thought leader in the industry.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring a comprehensive privacy policy and a cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics CMP. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of New Relic monitoring indicates proactive performance and error tracking. However, the absence of explicit security policy pages and vulnerability disclosure information suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Security headers were not explicitly detected in the provided data, recommending their implementation to enhance protection against common web threats. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program page to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional and engaging user experience. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and accessibility compliance to further strengthen the technical posture.
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.
