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

Yorkshire Sport Foundation is a lottery funded charity dedicated to promoting sport, physical activity, and wellbeing across Yorkshire. The organization focuses on tackling inequality and improving community health through various programs, workforce development, safeguarding, and data insight services. Their market position is that of a regional leader in sport and community wellbeing initiatives, supported by partnerships and a strong social mission. Technically, the website is built on Concrete CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for UI components, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, though it lacks some advanced security headers and a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, but could improve transparency in domain registration and security disclosures.

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

3 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. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

The Yorkshire Sport Foundation operates as a non-profit entity focused on social good through sport and physical activity. Its business model relies on lottery funding and partnerships with local organizations. The foundation targets residents and stakeholders in Yorkshire, offering services such as safeguarding, workforce development, and community engagement. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with a clear mission and consistent branding. The presence of charity registration numbers and active social media channels enhances credibility. The foundation's ecosystem includes collaborations with technology providers like Microsoft Power BI and sports-related platforms, though no direct partner domains were identified. Growth indicators include ongoing campaigns, news updates, and workforce initiatives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a detailed cookie consent framework powered by Cookiebot, allowing users granular control over cookie categories. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for non-profits but limits transparency. Overall, the site is secure for general users but would benefit from enhanced security best practices and public security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response plan or security contact page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible disclosure.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve trustworthiness and domain legitimacy verification.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Concrete CMS, a mature content management system, and uses jQuery along with Flickity for interactive UI elements like carousels. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and cookie consent management, respectively. The site loads asynchronously critical scripts and uses modern web fonts for improved typography. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in image delivery and script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, including keyboard navigation and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is stable and suitable for the organization's needs, though some modernization opportunities exist in security headers and performance tuning.
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.
