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.

Business context
Business profile
The Stadtsportbund Hannover e.V. holds a key position as a regional sports umbrella organization in Hannover, serving a large network of sports clubs and volunteers. Its business model centers on non-profit service provision, including funding, training, and advisory roles. The organization benefits from partnerships with local banks, sports associations, and government entities, enhancing its credibility and resource base. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital strategy aimed at community engagement and service delivery. Growth indicators include active event promotion and training offerings. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving recognized regional and national sports bodies.
Security posture
The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. No incident response or security contact information is publicly available, which is a gap in security transparency. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits external security collaboration. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional best practices and transparency.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security collaboration.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
Enhance user trust by providing transparency about data retention and privacy practices.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on AmphiCMS and leverages JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. SVG graphics are used for logos and icons, enhancing scalability and visual quality. The site includes accessibility features like font size adjustment and visual assistance tools. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile responsive and includes a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. Opportunities exist to modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving security headers.
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.
