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

The website 'Vereinssuche Landessportbund Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V.' serves as an informational platform for searching sports clubs affiliated with the Landessportbund Nordrhein-Westfalen, a regional non-profit sports federation in Germany. The site targets residents and sports enthusiasts in North Rhine-Westphalia, providing a centralized resource for club information. The business model is non-profit and focused on public service rather than commercial revenue. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Blazor WebAssembly and Bootstrap CSS, indicating a contemporary frontend infrastructure. Hosting appears to be managed via Deutsche Telekom infrastructure, inferred from the nameservers. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization, with dynamic content loading via Blazor. However, the content on the main HTML is minimal, relying on client-side rendering. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, nor contact information for security incidents, which limits compliance and user trust. No forms or data collection mechanisms were found on the landing page, reducing immediate attack surface but also limiting user engagement features. Overall, the website is legitimate and consistent with its stated purpose and regional focus. However, improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency are recommended to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Landessportbund Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V. occupies a key regional position as the authoritative sports federation in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its website functions as a search portal for local sports clubs, serving a niche audience of sports participants and community members. The non-profit business model focuses on providing public value rather than commercial gain. The organization benefits from strong brand recognition within the region, supported by consistent branding and official logos. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies. The platform currently lacks monetization or advertising, emphasizing informational service. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services and improving user engagement through enhanced features and compliance. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website content, and no related domains or payment processors were identified. The site’s simplicity and focus on core services suggest a stable but limited digital footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected, minimizing immediate risks of injection attacks, but also limiting user interaction. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response contacts or security policies are published, which may hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the provided content. The security score is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies visible on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts to facilitate vulnerability reporting and compliance.
  4. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance user experience across devices.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement and improve services.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on Blazor WebAssembly for client-side rendering, combined with Bootstrap CSS for styling. This indicates a contemporary approach to web development with a focus on rich interactive experiences. Hosting is likely provided by Deutsche Telekom, as inferred from the nameservers. The site loads JavaScript bundles with versioning, suggesting active maintenance and version control. Performance is moderate, with some loading indicators visible, but no explicit performance metrics available. The site lacks visible SEO meta tags beyond the title and viewport, and no structured data (JSON-LD or Open Graph) was found. Accessibility and mobile optimization are basic, with room for improvement. No CMS is detected, implying a custom or framework-based solution. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhancements in SEO, accessibility, and 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.
