The Deutsche Triathlon Union (DTU) operates as the official national governing body for triathlon in Germany, providing comprehensive resources, event information, youth programs, and training support for athletes and stakeholders. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets triathlon athletes, trainers, and enthusiasts primarily within Germany. The digital infrastructure is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and integrating Google Tag Manager and Analytics with GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and CSP nonce usage, though additional security headers and explicit incident response policies could enhance resilience. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with high trustworthiness and compliance, supporting the DTU's role as a leading sports federation.

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

9 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

DTU holds a strong market position as the authoritative triathlon federation in Germany, focusing on non-profit sports governance. Its business model centers on community engagement, event sanctioning, athlete development, and information dissemination. The presence of a dedicated merchandise shop and a start pass database portal indicates diversified service offerings. The organization maintains active social media channels, enhancing outreach and engagement. The website content and structure reflect a commitment to transparency, compliance, and user experience, positioning DTU as a trusted entity in the sports domain.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, Content-Security-Policy nonce, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of some standard security headers (e.g., HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies suggest areas for improvement. The integration of third-party analytics is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with formalized policies and additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents or abuse reports to facilitate timely communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues arise.
  5. Enhance user trust by including certifications or compliance badges where applicable.

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring maintainability and security updates. The tech stack includes jQuery and modules for cookie compliance and Google Tag Manager integration. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image delivery and script loading. The use of structured data and meta tags supports SEO. Hosting details are not explicit, but domain name servers suggest a professional DNS provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and user-friendly experience with room for performance tuning.
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.
