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

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) operates as a key global authority safeguarding the integrity of professional tennis worldwide. Established in 2021, the organization focuses on anti-corruption and anti-doping programs, providing education, sanctions reporting, and direct communication channels for players, coaches, and officials. The ITIA maintains partnerships with major tennis bodies such as ATP, WTA, ITF, and the Grand Slam tournaments, positioning itself as a trusted non-profit entity in the sports governance sector. The website reflects this mission with clear, professional content targeted at the tennis community and stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Fonts, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with a responsive design and includes accessibility considerations, though these could be enhanced further. Performance is moderate with efficient use of external resources and asynchronous script loading. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements standard security headers. A cookie consent mechanism is in place, demonstrating compliance with GDPR and privacy best practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and readiness. Overall, the ITIA website presents a professional, trustworthy, and secure digital presence aligned with its mission. Strategic improvements in security policy disclosure, accessibility, and incident response communication would further strengthen its posture and stakeholder confidence.

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

6 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. 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

  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

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 ITIA holds a strong market position as the central integrity body for professional tennis, operating in a niche but critical sector of sports governance and compliance. Its business model is non-profit and government-aligned, focusing on regulatory enforcement, education, and stakeholder engagement. Revenue streams likely include member contributions from tennis organizations and possibly grants. The target audience includes players, coaches, officials, and tennis governing bodies globally. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving major tennis organizations and Grand Slam events, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include the launch of a mobile app and new communication services like 'The Line' direct messaging. The organization's operations are transparent with annual reviews publicly available, supporting trust and accountability.

Security posture

The ITIA website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and comprehensive security headers implemented. The use of a cookie consent tool aligns with privacy regulations. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and preparedness. The site uses third-party scripts such as Google Analytics and Civic Cookie Control, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies and asynchronous script loading for performance optimization. The use of Google Fonts and Google Analytics is standard for branding and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with a clean, professional design and clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and accessibility compliance. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the SSL configuration and security headers indicate a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to enhance SEO and accessibility further and to document technical and security policies more explicitly.
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.
