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

The Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) website serves as the official digital presence of the international governing body for Modern Pentathlon and related multisport disciplines. It provides comprehensive information on events, athlete rankings, education programs, and governance. The site targets athletes, national federations, and fans globally, positioning itself as a key authority in the sport. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with a mature tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Matomo for analytics, and is well-optimized for mobile and SEO. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and privacy compliance, though some security headers could be improved. The WHOIS data is incomplete, which slightly impacts domain trustworthiness, but the website content and structure indicate a legitimate and professional organization. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of digital maturity and business credibility.

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

7 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • 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

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

UIPM operates as a non-profit international sports federation with a focus on governance, event management, and athlete development in modern pentathlon and related sports. Its business model revolves around organizing world championships, providing education and certification, and maintaining athlete rankings. The organization maintains a strong partnership ecosystem evident from linked domains and social media presence. The website content and structure reflect a well-established entity with a medium-sized operational scale. Growth indicators include active event promotion and educational initiatives. The lack of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, typical for international federations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses privacy-compliant cookie banners. Analytics are implemented with IP anonymization. However, some common security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or incident response page limits transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and clearer incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Regularly update Drupal core and contributed modules to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Consider publishing more detailed business contact information to improve user trust and engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature but aging CMS platform, using jQuery 1.12 and various JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel and FitVids for UI enhancements. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Matomo, with Google Tag Manager for marketing tags. The site uses Typekit fonts for branding consistency. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices observed. The site could benefit from modernization efforts to upgrade the CMS and JavaScript libraries to current versions to reduce technical debt and improve security.
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.
