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

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. 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

      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

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 firm occupies a strong market position in the niche of sports law in Germany, leveraging its expertise to attract high-profile clients such as Bundesliga clubs, sports federations, and professional athletes. Their business model is consultancy and legal services, generating revenue through specialized legal advice and representation. The website content and references indicate a well-established reputation and a network of partnerships with sports organizations. The firm targets professional sports entities and stakeholders requiring legal expertise in sports-related matters. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance and security features to meet evolving regulatory demands.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leakage. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and does not provide a public security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which limits transparency for security researchers. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a professional legal site but could be improved to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, utilizing the Swiper.js library for interactive sliders. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and viewport settings. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements or errors. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements to reduce technical debt and future-proof the platform.
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.
