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

EuroBSDCon 2026 is a niche technology conference organized by the EuroBSDCon Foundation, focusing on BSD operating systems and related open source technologies. The event is scheduled to take place in Brussels, Belgium, targeting developers, users, and enthusiasts within the BSD community. The website serves as an informational portal providing event dates, committee members, sponsorship information, and travel grant details. The business model is non-profit and community-driven, emphasizing collaboration and knowledge sharing within a specialized technology sector. Technically, the website is a static site generated using ssg6, employing standard HTML and CSS without dynamic content or complex frameworks. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and offers clear navigation and relevant content. However, there is no evidence of advanced SEO or accessibility features, and no hosting or CMS details are discernible. Performance is expected to be moderate given the static nature. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a malformed query response, limiting domain registration transparency. No HTTPS status or SSL configuration details were provided, which is a critical gap. No tracking or advertising scripts were detected, indicating minimal user data collection. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be improved with standard best practices. The overall risk is moderate; the site is legitimate and professional but lacks some compliance and security features expected for modern web presence. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and improving WHOIS transparency. These steps will enhance trust, compliance, and security culture for the EuroBSDCon community website.

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.

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

EuroBSDCon Foundation operates within a specialized technology niche, organizing annual BSD-focused conferences that attract a global community of developers and enthusiasts. The foundation's competitive advantage lies in its established reputation within the BSD ecosystem and its collaborative event model. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships and registration fees, supporting a non-profit structure. The target customers are technology professionals and open source advocates interested in BSD systems. Growth indicators include scheduled future events and travel grant programs. The partnership ecosystem includes local organizing committees and sponsors, with a focus on community engagement rather than commercial expansion. Operationally, the foundation maintains a lean structure with a small organizing team and program committee, emphasizing quality content and community trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with no visible HTTPS confirmation or security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The WHOIS data is incomplete, reducing domain registration trust signals. However, no vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected in the site content. The security culture appears minimal but not negligent, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical safeguards to protect users and enhance compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and establish an incident response process.
  5. Improve WHOIS data transparency or use a registrar that provides full domain registration details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a static site generator (ssg6), resulting in a simple, fast-loading HTML and CSS site without dynamic content or complex backend dependencies. The absence of JavaScript libraries or frameworks reduces attack surface but limits interactivity. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is minimal with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and CMS details are not discernible from the content. The site would benefit from modern enhancements such as improved accessibility compliance, SEO optimization, and integration of security best practices to reduce technical risks and improve 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.
