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 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

    • 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

  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 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

HBS operates in the media sector, focusing on broadcast services for international sports events. Its business model revolves around providing end-to-end broadcast production and management services, leveraging expertise in project management, engineering, and digital content. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including Infront Sports & Media, and actively updates its newsroom with recent contracts and collaborations. The target customer segments include sports federations, broadcasters, and event organizers. The website's content and structure indicate a large enterprise with a global footprint. Growth indicators include recent news on partnerships and digital content initiatives. The company emphasizes quality and innovation in broadcast technology, positioning itself competitively in the sports media market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates a gap in transparency and incident response readiness. No contact channels for security incidents or abuse are provided. Privacy compliance is addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced headers, incident response information, and cookie consent implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include explicit contact information for security incidents and abuse reports to enhance incident response capabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy verification.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end technologies including Glide.js for sliders and Rellax.js for parallax effects. SEO is managed via the Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and optimized assets. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The site lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance and security best practices.
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.
