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 non-profit sports promotion initiative backed by a major German financial group, the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. Its market position is strong within the national sports community, leveraging partnerships with organizations like Deka and Deutsche Leasing. The business model centers on sponsorship and community engagement rather than direct revenue. Target audiences include athletes, sports officials, and social project leaders. The site’s partnership ecosystem and clear branding enhance credibility and outreach. Growth indicators include digital registration services and annual competitions. The platform supports community building and social values alongside athletic performance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF protection, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The use of modern frameworks and secure session management indicates good security hygiene. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a security.txt file at the root domain to support vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Expand privacy policy details to include data retention and processing specifics.

Notes

The website is built on a Laravel framework with modern front-end technologies including ES modules and Bootstrap for responsive design. Hosting is managed via UI-DNS nameservers, indicating a professional DNS provider. Performance is moderate with preloading of CSS and JavaScript modules. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor insights. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring for library vulnerabilities is recommended. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and publish more detailed technical and security documentation.
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.
