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

International Elite 100 is an awards organization recognizing global business excellence across multiple sectors. The website showcases award winners, nomination processes, and award packages, targeting international business professionals seeking recognition. The technical infrastructure is based on GoDaddy Website Builder with embedded Vimeo video content and modern web fonts, providing a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website is professional and functional but could improve transparency and compliance to enhance trust.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 organization positions itself as an international awards body with a merit-driven process and global magazine circulation. Its business model revolves around award nominations and packages, targeting businesses and professionals worldwide. The website links to numerous winners and partners, indicating an active ecosystem. However, the domain is recently registered with privacy protection, and no detailed company registration or VAT information is provided, which may affect perceived credibility. The partnership with ny100.org suggests collaboration within the awards space. Growth indicators include a broad geographic coverage of winners and active social media presence on Instagram.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No forms collecting sensitive data beyond a contact form are present, reducing attack surface. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency.
  3. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit contact emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on GoDaddy Website Builder platform, using modern web fonts and embedded Vimeo video content. It registers a service worker for offline capabilities. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile responsiveness. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured JSON-LD data. No advanced frameworks or CMS detected beyond the builder platform. Technical debt appears low but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers. Hosting is via GoDaddy, a reputable provider.
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.
