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

The City-Bay Fun Run website serves as an informational and registration platform for a community running event held in Adelaide, Australia. It targets fitness enthusiasts and the general public interested in participating in various race distances. The site is built on WordPress and integrates standard marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The design is professional and mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, highlights gaps in privacy compliance and user trust facilitation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which could be improved to enhance protection. Overall, the website is legitimate and consistent with its business purpose but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

7 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 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

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 local event organizer for the City-Bay Fun Run, a recurring fitness event in Adelaide. Its business model revolves around event registration and community engagement. The site leverages common digital marketing tools to reach its audience but lacks visible trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. The absence of detailed business contact information and policies may limit its perceived credibility. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies, suggesting a standalone small business or non-profit entity. The target market is broad, encompassing general fitness participants in the Adelaide region. Growth potential could be enhanced by improving transparency and compliance features.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is fundamental for user trust and data protection. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces a moderate tracking footprint but no direct security risks were identified. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact limits the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. Enhancing security headers and publishing security-related policies would improve the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain security.
  4. Publish clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, a widely used CMS, and uses modern web fonts and responsive design techniques ensuring good mobile optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads external fonts and stylesheets efficiently but could benefit from performance optimizations such as caching and minification. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin usage and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is Australian-based, consistent with the website's regional focus. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
