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

The website magazin.hockey.de serves as the official online presence of the Deutscher Hockey-Bund (German Hockey Federation), providing comprehensive information about national hockey teams, competitions, and related news. It targets hockey enthusiasts and stakeholders within Germany, positioning itself as the authoritative source for hockey-related content in the country. The business model centers on information dissemination and fan engagement rather than commercial transactions. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management and Google Publisher Tags for advertising. The site is well-structured with good SEO and mobile optimization, though explicit CMS or hosting details are not evident. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates a robust cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML content, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. The use of multiple third-party tracking and advertising services is transparent and consent-based, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid security posture and privacy compliance suitable for a national sports federation. The absence of contact details and terms of service pages slightly limits business credibility transparency. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clearer contact information to improve trust and 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 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. 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
    • 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

The Deutscher Hockey-Bund operates as the national governing body for hockey in Germany, leveraging its official website to communicate with fans, athletes, and partners. Its market position is strong within the German sports sector, serving as the primary source for hockey news and updates. The business model is informational and community-focused, with revenue likely derived from sponsorships and partnerships rather than direct sales. The website's partnership ecosystem includes major advertising and analytics providers such as Google and Microsoft, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Growth indicators include active content updates and comprehensive cookie consent management, reflecting responsiveness to regulatory requirements and user expectations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent framework implemented via Cookiebot. The presence of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors, but these are managed through user consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is evident, though the lack of explicit security headers and incident response contact information suggests room for improvement. The site does not publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for the site's purpose but would benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Add clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes a modern technology stack with JavaScript-based cookie consent management (Cookiebot) and Google Publisher Tags for advertising. The HTML structure is valid and includes comprehensive meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements evident. However, no explicit CMS or hosting provider information is discernible from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low, though improvements in security headers and formal documentation could reduce risk and enhance operational resilience.
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.
