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

Einstein-Marathon is a well-established sports event organizer focusing on one of the largest running events in southern Germany, attracting over 15,000 participants. The website provides comprehensive information about the event, including registration, race details, results, and partner collaborations. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, leveraging modern web technologies and Cloudflare DNS for performance and security. The security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but should improve privacy compliance and security disclosures to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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

  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 Einstein-Marathon operates in the sports event sector with a medium-sized footprint, targeting runners and sports enthusiasts primarily in Germany. Its business model revolves around event management, participant registration, and associated services like merchandise and live tracking. The site integrates with partners for registration (Datasport), photography, and live tracking apps, indicating a robust partnership ecosystem. The event's market position is strong regionally, supported by consistent branding and comprehensive participant services. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital services and broader marketing. The business maintains a professional online presence but could benefit from clearer compliance and security communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare DNS. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible. Overall, the site is secure for general use but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing clear data protection officer contact information and incident response procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor page builder, jQuery, and Font Awesome for UI elements. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and possibly CDN services, enhancing performance and security. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration with Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and canonical URLs. The site uses multiple external domains for partner services and tracking, which should be monitored for privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy controls.
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.
