ITTF Foundation · Non-profit · Germany

High risk. 5 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 2 other checks.

Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The ITTF Foundation is a non-profit organization leveraging table tennis to promote social development, health, and peace globally. It operates multiple specialized programmes targeting disadvantaged groups, humanitarian aid, and health awareness. The foundation is linked to the ITTF Group and maintains an active online presence with social media and newsletter engagement. Technically, the website is built on the Contao CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks but suffers from slow performance and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which critically impacts security posture. The absence of HTTPS and security headers exposes the site to risks and undermines user trust. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy, but no explicit GDPR compliance or terms of service are found. WHOIS data indicates a mature domain with privacy protection typical for non-profits. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect users and enhance credibility.

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 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 4 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  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

The foundation holds a strong position in the non-profit sports and social development sector, leveraging table tennis as a tool for positive change. Its business model focuses on humanitarian and health-related programmes, supported by partnerships within the ITTF Group. The organization targets global disadvantaged communities and health-focused groups, with a clear emphasis on social impact. The website content and structure reflect a well-organized entity with consistent branding and active outreach. However, the lack of detailed business contact information and certifications limits full transparency. The domain's privacy protection is justified and common in this sector. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital security and expanded compliance disclosures.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. No security headers are implemented, and email authentication records like DMARC are missing. The site uses several third-party scripts and analytics tools without visible advanced security controls. While no active vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, the lack of encryption and security best practices exposes users to data interception and trust issues. Incident response and security policies are not publicly available, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and security headers is recommended to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add terms of service and security incident response information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on Contao CMS and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Foundation Sites framework, Jarallax for parallax effects, and Slick Carousel for sliders. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, and Mailchimp is integrated for newsletter subscriptions. Despite a rich feature set, the site suffers from slow load times (over 20 seconds) and a large page size (~421 KB). Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility and SEO are basic. Hosting is via GoDaddy with DNS configured but lacking DNSSEC and DMARC. The absence of HTTPS and security headers represents significant technical debt and risk. Performance optimization and security hardening are needed to modernize the infrastructure and improve user experience.
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.
