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

Boys'Day is a well-established non-profit initiative in Germany focused on career orientation and life planning for boys starting from the 5th grade. The website serves as a comprehensive platform providing information, educational materials, and event coordination for boys, schools, and participating companies. It enjoys a strong market position as a nationwide recognized event with government ministry involvement and active social media presence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript technologies, uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics, and implements cookie consent mechanisms. The site is hosted via DomainControl (GoDaddy) and demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. The design is professional and user-friendly, supporting a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response contact page, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected, and the WHOIS data is consistent and transparent. Overall, Boys'Day presents a low-risk profile with strong privacy compliance and business credibility. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, enhancing incident response transparency, and maintaining regular security audits to uphold trust and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

6 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

    • 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

  2. 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 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';…

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

Boys'Day operates in the education and non-profit sectors, targeting boys, schools, and companies to promote career orientation. Its business model revolves around organizing a nationwide event and providing supporting materials and workshops. The initiative benefits from government backing and a broad partnership ecosystem, including Girls'Day and regional representatives. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear navigation and comprehensive resources, supporting sustained growth and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy-conscious analytics. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contacts indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts like Matomo and cookie-script is managed responsibly, but ongoing monitoring is advised to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript and SVG graphics, with Matomo analytics for tracking and cookie-script for consent management. Hosting is via DomainControl (GoDaddy), a reputable provider. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
