Risk levelHigh

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

Crash Days is a niche event-focused website promoting automotive crash testing events primarily targeting industry professionals and enthusiasts in Germany. The site provides links to event registration and related crash test service providers but lacks detailed business or contact information. Technically, the website uses basic web technologies including SVG graphics and JavaScript but does not employ advanced frameworks or CMS platforms. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks accessibility and SEO enhancements. Security posture is weak with no detected HTTPS confirmation, security headers, or privacy policies, exposing the site to potential risks and compliance issues. Overall, the site is functional for its limited purpose but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and business transparency to enhance trust and professionalism.

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

10 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 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

  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 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';…

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 operates in the transportation sector, focusing on automotive crash testing events. Its business model revolves around event promotion and linking to partner services such as crash test providers and exhibition platforms. The site targets a specialized audience of automotive professionals and enthusiasts. Market positioning is niche with limited content and no visible revenue streams or detailed company information. Partnerships with domains like lukas.com and vetter.de suggest collaboration with related service providers. Growth potential depends on expanding content, improving user engagement, and establishing clearer business identity and contact channels.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low. The absence of HTTPS confirmation, security headers, and privacy policies indicates poor security hygiene. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The lack of contact information and security best practices increases risk exposure. Compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations are evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site does not collect user data via forms, reducing some risk but also limiting engagement. Immediate improvements are needed to secure the site, protect user data, and comply with legal requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Include clear contact information and establish incident response channels for security issues.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Enhance website accessibility, SEO, and mobile responsiveness to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, utilizing SVG for graphics. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Hosting appears to be managed via your-server.de and second-ns.de/com nameservers, indicating professional hosting but no CDN or advanced infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no evident optimization for speed or accessibility. The site lacks analytics or tracking tools, which limits data-driven improvements. Technical debt is low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, SEO, and user experience.
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.
