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

The World Snowboard Federation (WSF) is a specialized international non-profit organization dedicated to the development and promotion of snowboarding at all levels, with a strong focus on youth competitive programs, event organization, and education. The website reflects a well-structured digital presence with clear navigation, comprehensive content, and active social media engagement, positioning WSF as a key player in the snowboarding community. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates essential tools such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager for performance and marketing insights. Privacy and cookie compliance are well implemented, including a consent management system, reflecting good adherence to GDPR requirements. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers and policies could be enhanced. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common and justified for non-profits. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its target audience 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

6 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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  3. 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

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention worldsnowboardfederation.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for worldsnowboardfederation.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

WSF operates in the non-profit sports sector, focusing on snowboarding. Its business model revolves around community engagement, event hosting, rankings, and educational initiatives. The organization targets athletes, coaches, event organizers, and snowboarding enthusiasts globally, with a particular emphasis on youth development. The website supports this with detailed event calendars, competitive guidelines, and educational content. Partnerships include educational platforms like Thinkific. The organization's market position is unique as the sole international non-profit dedicated exclusively to snowboarding. Revenue streams likely include memberships, event fees, and educational programs. The digital ecosystem is supported by major third-party services for analytics and marketing, indicating a mature digital strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options were not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and readiness. The use of Google Tag Manager centralizes script management, reducing risk. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party services which require ongoing monitoring for security and privacy compliance.
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.
