Risk levelMedium

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

The International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) is a well-established non-profit organization focused on promoting physical activity and recreational sport globally. Their website reflects a mature and consistent brand with a clear mission to empower stakeholders and members through conferences, campaigns, and educational resources. The organization targets NGOs, sport professionals, and the general public interested in physical activity. Technically, the website uses a PHP backend with common frontend libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure with DNS managed by Cloudflare. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS support, which significantly impacts its security posture. Security headers are present but insufficient without HTTPS. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies despite GDPR references. Contact information is clearly provided, including email, phone, and physical address, alongside active social media channels. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security and privacy improvements.

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

3 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

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

ISCA operates as a medium-sized international NGO with a strong focus on community engagement and physical activity promotion. Their business model revolves around membership services, global events like the MOVE Congress, and educational initiatives. The organization benefits from a mature domain and strong domain protection, indicating stability and legitimacy. Partnerships with platforms like Wild Apricot for membership management and multiple project-specific subdomains demonstrate a diversified ecosystem. The target audience includes sport professionals, NGOs, and volunteers worldwide. The website content is relevant and well-structured, supporting their mission and outreach efforts. However, the lack of explicit certifications or security policies may affect trust among privacy-conscious stakeholders.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate to weak. While it implements several security headers and HSTS, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols are critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential interception and downgrade attacks. The use of an outdated PHP version (7.0.3) further increases risk exposure. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, limiting transparency and preparedness. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is low, and immediate remediation is recommended to protect user data and organizational reputation.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure all communications.
  2. Upgrade the PHP backend to a supported and secure version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance session security by enabling OCSP stapling and session resumption features.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a PHP 7.0.3 backend served by nginx, using frontend technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, FlexSlider, and FontAwesome. Hosting is on Google Cloud with DNS managed by Cloudflare. Performance metrics are not available, but the site uses multiple sliders and scripts which may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design evident. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks modern TLS support and a valid SSL certificate, which is a significant technical debt. The use of Google Tag Manager and AddThis indicates marketing and tracking integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires 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.
