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

4 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. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

KV Kortrijk operates in the sports sector, specifically football, with a medium-sized digital presence. The website supports the club's business model by facilitating ticket sales and fan engagement through media streaming and information dissemination. The club benefits from partnerships with marketing and analytics providers such as HubSpot and Google, enabling targeted advertising and user behavior analysis. The absence of detailed WHOIS data is typical for privacy protection but does not detract from the site's legitimacy. The club's digital strategy appears focused on maintaining a strong brand presence and enhancing fan experience, with potential growth opportunities in expanding e-commerce and digital content offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner that aligns with privacy regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts from HubSpot, Facebook, and Google requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating an area for enhancement in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and stakeholder confidence.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing a range of modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Tiny Slider, and Tippy.js for UI enhancements. Font Awesome 6 Pro is used for iconography, and marketing integrations include HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. The site employs a cookie consent management tool (CookieYes) to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate, with caching and optimization evident but potential for further improvements. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. The technical stack is mature and widely supported, though the hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
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.
