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

The Hrvatski košarkaški savez (Croatian Basketball Federation) operates as the national governing body for basketball in Croatia, providing official news, league information, team rosters, and historical data related to Croatian basketball. The website serves basketball fans, players, clubs, and the broader sports community in Croatia. It maintains a strong digital presence with official social media channels and regularly updated content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, and various UI libraries such as Owl Carousel and Font Awesome. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices with structured data and meta tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google Analytics for tracking. However, it lacks several important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could be improved to enhance security posture. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no exposed sensitive data was found. Overall, the website is legitimate and professional, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to GDPR privacy protections. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism may represent a compliance gap. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, and maintaining regular updates to WordPress and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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

The Croatian Basketball Federation holds a key position as the official sports federation for basketball in Croatia, targeting national and regional basketball stakeholders. Its business model is non-profit and focused on sports promotion, event organization, and information dissemination. The federation leverages partnerships with sports media and uses digital channels to engage fans and participants. The website content and social media integration indicate a mature digital strategy aimed at maintaining transparency and community engagement. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, event fees, and government or sports body funding. The federation's market presence is strong within Croatia's sports sector, with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The absence of a visible incident response or security policy page suggests limited public-facing security governance documentation. GDPR compliance is partially indicated by the privacy policy and WHOIS data protection, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public sports federation website but could benefit from enhanced header policies and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a variety of plugins and third-party widgets, including Genius Sports widgets for live sports content. It employs modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Font Awesome for UI components. Google Analytics is integrated asynchronously for performance. The site is mobile responsive and uses multiple Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate, with some heavy image assets and multiple external script calls. The site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a mid-sized sports federation website with room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
