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

The International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) operates a comprehensive online platform serving the global Taekwon-Do community. The website acts as a central hub providing access to official federation information, event details, a dedicated database, live event streaming, and an e-commerce store for official merchandise. The organization positions itself as the supreme authority in ITF Taekwon-Do, targeting practitioners, members, and enthusiasts worldwide. The business model is non-profit and community-focused, emphasizing legacy and authenticity of the martial art founded by Gen. Choi Hong Hi. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Twenty Twenty-One theme, enhanced with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive content. The site is hosted likely via GoDaddy, with HTTPS enabled and basic performance and mobile optimization. Accessibility and SEO are implemented at a basic to good level, with internationalization supported through Google Translate integration. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain locking status but lacks advanced DNS security (DNSSEC) and security headers. There are no visible forms collecting personal data on the main page, and no published security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and cookie policies present but no active cookie consent mechanism. The domain registration is consistent and appropriate for the organization's history, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its mission, though improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency are recommended to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 ITF website reflects a well-established international sports federation with a clear market position as the authoritative body for ITF Taekwon-Do. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive service offerings including media streaming, database access, and e-commerce, and a strong brand legacy tied to the founder. Revenue streams likely include merchandise sales and event-related services. The target customer segments are global Taekwon-Do practitioners and affiliated organizations. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple related domains serving specialized functions. Growth indicators include recent content updates and active platform integrations. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing digital security and privacy compliance to maintain credibility and trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration protections are in place, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance gaps include lack of cookie consent mechanisms and absence of published security or incident response policies. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no forms collecting personal data on the main page. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. The security culture is not explicitly communicated. Business impact of current gaps is moderate, primarily affecting regulatory compliance and potential phishing risk mitigation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with a standard theme and common JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and lazy loading features. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security configurations and accessibility features. The hosting provider is inferred from registrar data as GoDaddy, which is a reputable provider. No critical technical risks were identified that would impact business operations significantly.
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.
