0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Swiss Olympic is the umbrella organization for Swiss sports and serves as the National Olympic Committee of Switzerland. It supports and strengthens its members, including 83 national sports federations and 30 partner organizations, representing approximately 18,300 clubs and 2.2 million active sports participants. The organization is well-established with a strong market position and recognized trust indicators such as ISO 9001:2015 certification and partnerships with major national and international brands. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content tailored to its target audience of sports organizations, athletes, and partners. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Slick Carousel, JWPlayer, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. Accessibility tools like Eye-Able are implemented, and the site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were identified. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security policy pages, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The WHOIS data shows privacy protection consistent with organizational privacy needs, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the website is secure, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, with room for improvement in formal security disclosures and enhanced security headers. The risk level is low, and the site effectively supports the organization's mission and stakeholder engagement.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

Swiss Olympic holds a dominant position as the national sports umbrella organization and Olympic committee in Switzerland. Its business model is non-profit, funded primarily through public funds, IOC support, sponsorships, and dedicated funds. The organization targets sports federations, clubs, athletes, and partners, providing services such as delegation management for Olympic events, educational programs, and youth prevention initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes major lottery organizations and premium corporate partners, enhancing its financial and operational stability. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence aligned with organizational goals and stakeholder needs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent compliance. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. Security headers are not explicitly detected, representing an area for enhancement. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified and consistent with organizational privacy requirements. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, JWPlayer, and Hammer.js, indicating a rich interactive user experience. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing insights. Accessibility is enhanced via Eye-Able tools. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS or hosting provider was identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formal CMS or platform identification for better maintainability.
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.
