Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

SK Sturm Graz is a well-established Austrian football club with a strong digital presence through its official website. The site offers comprehensive information about the club, including news, match schedules, team rosters, membership options, and an online shop. The business model revolves around sports entertainment, fan engagement, and commercial activities such as merchandise sales and sponsorships. The website demonstrates a high level of content quality and professional design, targeting football fans and stakeholders. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like Vue.js and is built on Craft CMS, but lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security flaw. The absence of SSL/TLS significantly impacts the security posture, despite the presence of privacy and cookie policies that comply with GDPR. Overall, the site is functional and credible but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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 holds a prominent position in Austrian football, leveraging its brand through multiple channels including social media and partnerships with well-known sponsors such as Puntigamer and 11teamsports. Revenue streams include ticket sales, memberships, merchandise, and hospitality services. The website's structure supports these business functions with dedicated sections for fans, business partners, and club information. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring local and international brands. Growth indicators include active news updates and engagement with diverse audience segments, including youth and women's teams. The business operates primarily in the sports and hospitality sectors within Austria, with a medium-sized organizational footprint.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS, which exposes the site and its users to potential interception and data tampering. No advanced security headers or mechanisms like HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption are implemented. However, there are no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating awareness of compliance requirements. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found, suggesting room for improvement in security governance. Immediate action is recommended to deploy SSL/TLS and enhance security headers to protect user data and maintain compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern technologies including Vue.js for frontend interactivity and Craft CMS as the content management system. It employs Swiper.js for sliders and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. However, performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to the absence of HTTPS and heavy media content. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Hosting is on an Apache server with no DNSSEC or CAA records, which could be improved for better domain security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security enhancements and performance optimization.
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.
