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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The foundation operates in the government and non-profit sectors with a clear focus on sports development. It maintains partnerships with regional sports organizations and premium partners such as Lotto Hessen, Sparkasse Helaba, and Fraport. The business model centers on performance-based and needs-based funding for athletes and trainers. The website supports growth through transparent communication, a newsletter subscription, and an online application portal. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and resource availability. The foundation's market position is strong within its regional niche, supported by government and private sector collaboration.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance, and secure form handling with mandatory consent checkboxes. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the organization's risk profile but could be enhanced to align with best practices.
Recommendations
Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Enhance contact information availability by including verified company emails and phone numbers on the website.
Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Usercentrics for consent management and eyeAble for accessibility enhancements. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, contributing to fast load times and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical implementation reflects a modern, maintainable infrastructure suitable for a non-profit organization focused on regional outreach.
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.
