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

Sponsoo GmbH operates a leading European online platform that connects sponsors with athletes, teams, clubs, and sports associations across more than 300 sports disciplines. The platform facilitates sponsorship deals by enabling athletes and organizations to create sponsorship profiles and offers, while sponsors can search and select ideal sponsorship opportunities. The company targets athletes, sponsors, sports teams, and brands, positioning itself as a major player in the sports sponsorship marketplace since its founding in 2014. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including AngularJS, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a professional design, although accessibility features are basic. The platform supports secure user authentication with CSRF protection and OAuth login options via Facebook, Google+, and XING. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and secure login forms. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts. There is no explicit cookie consent mechanism despite GDPR compliance indications. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, Sponsoo presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a solid business model and market position. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy consent, and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and compliance. The platform's extensive social media presence and press coverage further reinforce its credibility and market reach.

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.

Priority findings

6 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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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 is positioned as a specialized online marketplace for sports sponsorship, targeting a niche but broad audience including athletes, teams, clubs, and sponsors. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive database covering over 300 sports and its facilitation of direct sponsorship deals with contract support. Revenue likely derives from subscription or commission fees related to sponsorship offers. The company benefits from partnerships with European Commission programs and German economic agencies, enhancing its credibility and growth potential. The multi-language support and international athlete portfolio indicate ambitions beyond Italy, targeting European and global markets. The platform's integration with social media and marketing tools supports its growth and user engagement strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure login mechanisms including CSRF tokens and OAuth integrations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. No direct vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, but improvements in privacy consent and security best practices are recommended to align with GDPR and industry standards. The platform's use of third-party tracking and marketing scripts necessitates clear user consent and data protection measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy an explicit cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider hosting a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet WCAG guidelines.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (AngularJS) combined with standard web technologies and third-party marketing and analytics tools. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel indicates a mature marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with video content and animations that may impact load times. The CMS is custom or not explicitly identified. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security best practices are advisable to reduce operational risks.
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.
