The site targets sports enthusiasts and community organizations, offering incentives such as finisher shirts and monetary awards for projects fostering movement and community spirit. The business model is non-profit, supported by partnerships with reputable financial and sports organizations, positioning it as a trusted national initiative. Technically, the website employs modern web standards including ES modules, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Laravel backend elements such as CSRF tokens and cookie consent management. Google Analytics is integrated via Google Tag Manager for user behavior insights. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF protection and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie management aligned with GDPR requirements.

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

3 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 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

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 website represents a well-established non-profit initiative backed by the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, focusing on promoting sports and social engagement in Germany. Its market position is strong due to partnerships with major financial and sports organizations, including Deka and Deutsche Leasing. The business model relies on sponsorship and community involvement rather than direct revenue. Target customers include sports clubs, schools, and community groups. Growth indicators include annual competitions and awards, with visible branding consistency and trust signals. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and outreach.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and CSRF tokens protect forms. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user control, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site demonstrates a reasonable security culture but would benefit from formalizing security policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include explicit contact information such as email or phone for general and security inquiries to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with ES modules, Bootstrap for responsive UI, and Laravel backend components. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and implements cookie consent with configurable categories. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with no broken elements detected. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly identified but DNS data suggests a professional German hosting environment.
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.
