75/100

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

UEFA.com is the official digital presence of the Union of European Football Associations, the governing body for football in Europe. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for football fans, media, and stakeholders, offering news, live scores, video content, and detailed information about UEFA's competitions and initiatives. UEFA holds a leading position in European and global football, organizing prestigious tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA EURO. The site targets a broad audience including football enthusiasts, clubs, and national associations. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent, and uses secure HTTPS protocols with strong security headers. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, providing a fast and user-friendly experience. From a security perspective, UEFA.com demonstrates good practices with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy compliance mechanisms. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, representing areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is noted but does not detract from the site's legitimacy given the strong branding and official nature. Overall, UEFA.com presents a professional, secure, and trustworthy platform with excellent content quality and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security policies and incident response, publishing vulnerability disclosure details, and providing data protection officer contact information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

2 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

UEFA operates as the essential governing body for European football, managing a wide portfolio of competitions and development programs. Its business model revolves around organizing tournaments, media rights, merchandising partnerships, and football development initiatives. UEFA's market position is dominant in European football, supported by a strong brand and extensive digital presence. Revenue streams likely include broadcasting rights, sponsorships, merchandising, and event hosting. The organization targets football fans, clubs, national associations, and commercial partners. Growth indicators include expanding women's and youth competitions and digital engagement platforms. UEFA maintains partnerships with official merchandise stores and gaming platforms, enhancing its ecosystem and fan engagement.

Security posture

UEFA.com exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. The site avoids exposing sensitive data and uses reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels indicates gaps in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the content or scripts. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and providing clear contact points for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security incident response team.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on certifications and compliance frameworks to boost trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based frontend with integration of multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, JWPlayer for video content, and OneTrust for cookie management. The site uses lazy loading and responsive images for performance optimization. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing experience. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the infrastructure supports fast loading and scalability. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security transparency.
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.
