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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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 company targets sports federations, multi-sport clubs, and sports centers primarily in Germany. Their business model focuses on B2B software and IT services, including consulting, support, and training. The market position is strong within the niche of sports IT solutions, leveraging long-term partnerships and a specialized product portfolio. The partnership with Tricept AG suggests a broader ecosystem and potential parent or partner relationship. Growth indicators include active news updates and a diverse client base. Revenue streams likely come from software licensing, consulting, and support services. The company emphasizes trust and long-term collaboration as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. The use of Matomo analytics is positive for privacy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may affect GDPR compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking and cookies.
  3. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The integration of Matomo analytics shows a preference for open-source and privacy-friendly tools. The site employs modern frontend libraries such as Slick Carousel and Bootstrap Icons, enhancing user experience and responsiveness. Hosting via DomainControl (GoDaddy) is standard for business websites. Performance is moderate with some images preloaded for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
