Risk levelMedium

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

The International School Sport Federation (ISF) operates as a global non-profit organization dedicated to promoting school sports and organizing international school sports events. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging Drupal 9 CMS and modern web technologies. The organization maintains active social media channels and provides event information and registration through partner domains. Technically, the website is well-implemented with HTTPS, standard security practices, and moderate performance. However, explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and contact information are not prominently available, which could be improved for better transparency and compliance. The WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, which is common for non-profit organizations but limits domain trust analysis. Overall, the website is trustworthy, safe, and serves its educational and sports community effectively.

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 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

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

ISF holds a strong position in the international school sports sector, offering key services such as organizing championships, educational programs, and fostering partnerships. The business model is non-profit and community-focused, targeting schools, students, and educators globally. The website's integration with event management and media subdomains indicates a mature operational ecosystem. The presence of multiple official social media accounts and event bulletins supports active engagement and transparency. Growth indicators include recent event announcements and leadership updates. The partnership ecosystem includes dedicated event and registration platforms, enhancing operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of secure third-party libraries, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could be a gap in security transparency. The use of tracking pixels and analytics is moderate and standard for organizational websites. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the organization's scope but would benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy, terms of service, and data protection officer contact information to improve compliance and transparency.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular audits to improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9, a modern and secure CMS platform, combined with Bootstrap 5 and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. FontAwesome 6 is used for iconography, and Google Fonts enhance typography. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and layout. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization.
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.
