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

The Nationale Plattform zur Bekämpfung der Manipulation von Sportwettbewerben is an official German government initiative under the Bundesministerium des Innern und für Heimat, dedicated to combating manipulation in sports competitions. The platform provides comprehensive information, monitoring, prevention strategies, and a reporting mechanism to stakeholders including public authorities, sports organizations, and the general public. It holds a strong market position as a trusted governmental resource in Germany for sports integrity. Technically, the website is built on the Government Site Builder CMS, employing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and accessibility tools like ReadSpeaker. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and includes SEO best practices. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism with options for anonymous statistical tracking. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, reinforcing the site's legitimacy. Overall, the platform demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations, making it a reliable source for its intended audience. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and header implementation could further enhance its security posture.

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. 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention nationale-plattform.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for nationale-plattform.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The platform operates as a governmental public service entity focused on sports integrity and anti-manipulation efforts. Its business model is non-commercial, funded and managed by the German federal ministry. The target audience includes government agencies, sports federations, athletes, and the public. The platform benefits from strong partnerships with various sports organizations and law enforcement agencies, as evidenced by the logos and linked domains. It maintains a consistent brand aligned with official government standards, enhancing its credibility and authority in the sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of security headers and a formal security policy or incident response contact reduces its security maturity slightly. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected. The platform would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and implementing additional HTTP security headers to mitigate risks such as clickjacking or MIME sniffing. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which is a gap for transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention policies related to analytics and cookies.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve accessibility and mobile optimization standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a specialized government CMS (Government Site Builder) with a modern front-end stack including CSS normalization, responsive stylesheets, and JavaScript libraries such as MediaElement.js for video playback and Slick Carousel for UI components. Accessibility is supported via ARIA roles and ReadSpeaker integration. The site loads asynchronously some scripts and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and semantic clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking resources detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but WHOIS data suggests European hosting. No CDN or third-party performance optimization services were detected.
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.
