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

Real Sociedad de Fútbol S.A.D. is a professional football club based in Spain, operating an official website that serves as a hub for club news, match information, ticket sales, and fan engagement. The website targets football fans and supporters of the club, providing content primarily in Spanish with multiple language alternatives. The business model centers on sports entertainment and merchandising, positioning the club as a well-established entity in the Spanish football market. The website branding is consistent and professional, reinforcing the club's identity and trustworthiness. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and Google DoubleClick for advertising. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly identified but the infrastructure supports a professional online presence. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes security headers inferred from scripts. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed HTML. However, the site lacks explicit security policy pages, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. Overall, the website is legitimate and professionally maintained, with privacy-protected WHOIS data typical for such organizations. The absence of public WHOIS details does not detract from the site's credibility given the consistent branding and security practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear security and incident response policies, improving accessibility, and providing explicit contact information for security and abuse reporting to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Real Sociedad operates in the sports and entertainment sector, leveraging its brand as a professional football club to engage fans and generate revenue through ticket sales, merchandise, and digital content. The website serves as a primary communication channel, supporting fan engagement and commercial activities. The club's market position is strong within Spanish football, with a large audience base. The business model is focused on sports entertainment, community engagement, and brand merchandising. The presence of multiple language versions indicates an international outreach strategy. Advertising and tracking technologies suggest monetization through digital marketing. The lack of visible partner or subsidiary domains in the HTML indicates a focused brand presence without extensive digital partnerships disclosed publicly.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified and common for professional sports organizations. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure pages represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. The site uses third-party advertising and tracking services, which require careful privacy management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards.
  4. Provide explicit company contact details including emails and phone numbers for support and security.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and advertising technologies to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google DoubleClick for advertising. The HTML includes comprehensive metadata for SEO and social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized and loads scripts asynchronously to improve performance. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, but the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated libraries. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
