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

Sponsoo GmbH operates a leading online marketplace for sports sponsorship, connecting athletes, teams, clubs, associations, and sports events with sponsors and brands. The platform facilitates sponsorship deals by providing profiles and offers, targeting a broad audience in the sports and marketing sectors. The company has established a strong market position since its founding in 2014, supported by reputable media coverage and European institutional backing. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including AngularJS, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, though some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes CSRF protection in forms. Social login options are implemented securely. However, the absence of explicit security headers and published security policies indicates room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with its business goals. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would enhance its risk posture and user 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

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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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

Sponsoo GmbH targets the sports sponsorship market by offering a digital platform that streamlines connections between sports entities and sponsors. Its business model is commission-free beyond sponsorship costs, focusing on volume and visibility. The company leverages partnerships with European institutions and maintains a strong media presence, indicating growth and credibility. The multilingual approach and multiple localized domains suggest an international expansion strategy. Key customer segments include athletes, sports teams, clubs, and corporate sponsors. The platform's portfolio includes thousands of sportspeople and clubs across over 300 sports, demonstrating scale and diversity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented in login forms. Social login integrations use OAuth protocols, enhancing secure authentication. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which may impact transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with GDPR-aligned privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve the security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with AngularJS and integrates third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. The site is responsive and mobile-optimized, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with video content and animations that may impact load times. The absence of a CMS or hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure analysis. JavaScript is used extensively for UI interactions and analytics. The site uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating attention to security in data submission. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business model effectively but could be modernized further by upgrading frameworks and improving performance.
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.
