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

New York 100 is an award organization dedicated to recognizing business excellence across New York City's five boroughs. Affiliated with the global International Elite 100 organization, it offers annual awards, nomination processes, and publishes winners to promote leadership and quality in diverse industries. The website is professionally designed using GoDaddy Website Builder, featuring modern fonts, embedded video content, and a cookie consent mechanism. Technical infrastructure includes React-based components and service worker support, hosted on GoDaddy. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy policies. No contact emails or phone numbers are directly provided, which may impact user trust. Overall, the site is functional and serves its niche well but could improve privacy and security transparency.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 business operates in the awards and recognition sector, targeting businesses and professionals in New York City. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with International Elite 100, providing credibility and a structured awards program. Revenue likely derives from award package sales and nomination fees. The target audience includes local businesses seeking recognition and marketing exposure. The partnership ecosystem includes International Elite 100 and promotional partners like New York City Kopp Tours. Growth indicators include active social media presence and updated award packages. Strategic observations suggest enhancing contact transparency and expanding digital marketing to increase reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response information. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from implementing comprehensive privacy and security policies and improving technical security controls to enhance compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  3. Create a security incident response page with contact channels for reporting issues.
  4. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear contact information to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on GoDaddy Website Builder 8.0, utilizing modern web fonts and React-based JavaScript components. It embeds Vimeo videos and uses service workers for progressive web app capabilities. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, with content delivery through wsimg.com domains. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured JSON-LD data. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. Technical risks include missing security headers and limited privacy disclosures, which could impact compliance and user confidence.
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.
