Risk levelMedium

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

The UEFA Foundation is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to supporting social projects related to football, primarily focusing on children and community development. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and OneTrust for cookie consent. Hosting is stable and reputable, utilizing Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, though there is room for improvement in security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent, but lacks a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves its non-profit mission effectively.

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

5 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 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
    • 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. 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
    • 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

  • 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

The foundation operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on football-related social initiatives. Its market position is strong within European football communities, leveraging UEFA branding and social media channels for outreach. The business model centers on funding and supporting projects that benefit children and communities through football. The website content and metadata indicate a medium-sized organization founded in 2014, consistent with domain registration data. The foundation maintains a clear target audience of children and football stakeholders, with key services including pitch construction and renovation. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms but no explicit commercial partners were identified in the content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent is implemented via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate readiness and transparency.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with the Yoast SEO plugin and Beaver Builder for layout. It uses JW Player for media content and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is supported by Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure, indicating reliable and scalable hosting. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. The site uses multiple external domains for fonts, analytics, and media delivery, all reputable. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
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.
