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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The Hamburger Sportbund holds a strong market position as the central sports association in Hamburg, offering a broad range of services from educational programs to venue rentals. Their business model focuses on supporting member clubs and promoting sports inclusivity and sustainability. The organization leverages partnerships with local educational portals, city initiatives, and service providers to enhance their offerings. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, seminar registrations, and venue rentals. The website's integration with multiple partner domains and social media channels indicates a well-established ecosystem. Growth indicators include active seminar offerings and community engagement through social media. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on digital transformation and compliance to maintain leadership in the regional sports sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent with opt-in categories, and use of Matomo for privacy-respecting analytics. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in formal security governance. The site uses third-party scripts and plugins which should be regularly audited to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit organization but could be enhanced by adopting additional security headers and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with UIkit CSS framework and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Awesomplete. It integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent plugin with granular category controls. The site is hosted on infrastructure using DomainControl nameservers, likely GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and the need for enhanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize some scripts and improve performance metrics further.
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.
