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

8 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"

      • 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';…

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 Deutscher Leichtathletik Verband operates leichtathletik.de as a comprehensive digital platform to engage the athletics community in Germany and German-speaking regions. The portal consolidates news, event calendars, results, and educational content, positioning itself as a central hub for athletics information. The business model focuses on information dissemination, community engagement, and supporting the federation's governance and anti-doping initiatives. Partnerships with ticketing and merchandise platforms indicate revenue streams through event ticket sales and branded merchandise. The site’s extensive navigation structure and content depth suggest a mature digital presence with a strong brand identity in the sports sector. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage may indicate a focus on digital self-service and centralized communication channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of a consent management platform to comply with cookie regulations. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site uses third-party analytics and marketing tools, which may introduce privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers and publicly available security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Review and document data retention policies related to analytics and user data collection to strengthen privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve the security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries like Splide.js for interactive carousels and integrates third-party services such as Branch.io for link management and Consentmanager.net for cookie consent. Analytics are handled via eTracker, a European analytics provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes accessibility considerations such as ARIA labels. Performance appears moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized image usage. Hosting is managed via domaincontrol.com nameservers, typically associated with GoDaddy. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and security headers to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
