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. 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. 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 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

The website positions itself as a niche non-profit event promotion platform within the sports and education sectors. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with the International Orienteering Federation and its global reach, evidenced by extensive event listings across many countries. The business model focuses on community engagement and event registration rather than direct revenue generation. Partnerships with equipment sponsors and educational institutions enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include active social media presence and continuous event updates. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital services, improve multilingual support, and formalize terms of service to enhance user trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. The use of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism reflects awareness of privacy regulations. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were found in the analysis. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could be addressed to improve organizational security maturity. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formalized security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear terms of service page to define user rights and responsibilities, enhancing legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and document an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and dependencies to minimize risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and multilingual support to broaden audience reach and comply with international standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using version 6.7.2, combined with Bootstrap 3.3.7 for responsive design and jQuery 3.7.1 for client-side scripting. It integrates Google Maps API for event location visualization and uses the Complianz GDPR plugin for cookie consent management. Performance is moderate, with external dependencies on CDNs such as MaxCDN and jsDelivr. The site is mobile-optimized and includes basic accessibility features. Technical risks are low, but the use of older Bootstrap version suggests potential modernization opportunities. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and hreflang attributes for multilingual content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the website's purpose.
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.
