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

  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 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 LandesSportBund Niedersachsen holds a leading position in the regional sports sector, serving a large audience including sports clubs, volunteers, and sports enthusiasts. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on service provision, advocacy, and education rather than commercial revenue. The organization leverages partnerships with various specialized portals and service providers to extend its offerings. The presence of a career portal, education platform, and member intranet indicates a well-developed ecosystem. The website's content and navigation support diverse user needs, from event information to funding guidelines and inclusion initiatives, highlighting strategic focus areas such as sustainability and diversity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and privacy-conscious analytics configuration (Matomo with cookies disabled). However, there is no visible dedicated security policy or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting room for hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial informational site but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage in the privacy policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, complemented by modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, and slick carousel for UI components. Accessibility is enhanced via the eyeAble plugin, and cookie management is handled by cookieman. Analytics are performed using Matomo with cookies disabled, reflecting privacy-conscious design. The site is mobile-optimized and features a clear navigation structure with multi-level menus. Hosting appears to be managed by htp-tel.de, a German hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt observed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
