Risk levelMedium

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

The Österreichischer Handballbund operates as the official Austrian Handball Federation, providing governance, promotion, and organization of handball activities within Austria. The website serves as an information hub for players, fans, and clubs, offering news, event details, and resources related to handball. It holds a strong national position as the authoritative body for the sport in Austria. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, Font Awesome, and a proprietary CMS by Internetkonzepte.at. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics, alongside Adition for advertising and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with moderate performance and good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses standard security headers, and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, it lacks publicly available security policies or incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen its 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

5 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 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';…

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Österreichischer Handballbund is positioned as a key national sports federation in Austria, focusing on handball. Its business model is non-profit, centered on sport promotion and event organization. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, sponsorships, and event ticketing (partnered with Oeticket.com). The target audience includes athletes, clubs, fans, and sports organizations within Austria. The federation maintains partnerships with ticketing and media platforms, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include active digital presence and compliance with EU privacy laws. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with clear branding and consistent messaging.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response contact reduces transparency and readiness perception. The use of third-party scripts for advertising and analytics introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS by Internetkonzepte.at, leveraging common web technologies such as jQuery and Font Awesome. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics), tag management (Google Tag Manager), advertising (Adition, Yieldlab), and consent management (Cookiebot). The site is mobile responsive with moderate loading performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (RSS and Atom feeds). Technical debt appears low, but reliance on multiple external domains for tracking and advertising requires careful management to maintain privacy compliance and security.
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.
