Risk levelMedium

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

Montpellier Vipers is a French ice hockey club with a strong regional presence, competing in Division 2 and offering youth training and community engagement. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and WooCommerce, featuring merchandising and event ticketing. The technical infrastructure is modern with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy policies. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which raises transparency concerns but the website content and social media presence indicate a legitimate sports organization. Overall, the site is safe and suitable for general audiences.

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

7 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

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 club operates as a sports association focusing on ice hockey promotion, youth development, and fan engagement. Revenue streams include ticket sales, merchandise, and sponsorships. The website supports community building with news, team info, and social media integration. Partnerships with local businesses are evident through advertising banners. The business model is typical for regional sports clubs, targeting local sports fans and families. Growth potential lies in expanding youth programs and merchandising.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and modern CMS plugins but lacks visible security headers and detailed privacy or incident response policies. No contact emails or phone numbers for security or general inquiries are found, which could hinder user trust and incident reporting. The presence of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager requires regular security audits. Overall, security maturity is moderate but can be improved by adding security headers, explicit privacy and cookie policies, and clear contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy pages to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, using jQuery and React components for interactive features. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. No hosting provider info was detected. The site uses modern web standards but could benefit from additional security hardening and privacy transparency.
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.
