Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

Leitverband des Ostbelgischen Sports VoG operates as the main sports umbrella organization in East Belgium, representing approximately 250 sports clubs. The organization focuses on sports promotion, trainer education, talent development, elite sports coordination, and event organization. The website is multilingual and professionally designed, targeting sports clubs, trainers, athletes, and sports enthusiasts in the region. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie tracking disabled for analytics, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is restricted, limiting domain trust verification, but the website content and contact information appear legitimate and consistent with a regional non-profit sports association.

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. 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

    • 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

  2. 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 organization holds a key regional position in the sports sector of East Belgium, serving as a central coordinating body for sports clubs and athletes. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on service provision, education, and event management. The presence of partner domains such as ostbelgienlive.be and ethias.be indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The website's content quality and branding are consistent, supporting trust and credibility. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and enhancing compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a cookie consent mechanism represent compliance gaps under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit organization but could benefit from enhanced controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure compliance with EU GDPR cookie regulations and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness for security incidents.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant certifications or trust badges to strengthen business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with jQuery 3.7.0 and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a modern but standard technology stack. The site is multilingual via WPML, supporting German, French, Dutch, and English. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance and security enhancement.
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.
