Risk levelHigh

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

The website 'Tag des Laufens' serves as a central platform for promoting a nationwide German running event celebrated annually on the first Wednesday of June. It is organized by prominent running associations German Road Races (GRR) and Deutscher Leichtathletik-Verband (DLV), with support from DATEV. The site provides event information, downloadable participation certificates, and promotes a charitable campaign for clean water access in Ghana. The target audience includes running enthusiasts, clubs, and socially conscious participants in Germany. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with a combination of established frontend libraries such as Bootstrap 3 and jQuery, delivering a moderately performant and mobile-optimized experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and spam-protected emails, but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its community and charitable goals.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 platform occupies a niche in the German running event market, leveraging partnerships with major running organizations and a reputable IT service provider (DATEV). Its business model focuses on event promotion, community engagement, and charitable fundraising, which enhances its social impact and brand value. The absence of direct commercial transactions or advertising suggests a non-profit or community-driven approach. The integration of social media and downloadable certificates fosters participant engagement and brand loyalty. The website's consistent branding and clear messaging position it as a credible and recognized event within Germany's running community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and obfuscated email addresses to reduce spam. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism may expose the site to GDPR compliance risks. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure compliance with EU privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly update frontend libraries and CMS components to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with Bootstrap 3.3.6 and jQuery 3.2.1 for frontend UI components. Additional libraries include Font Awesome for icons, Fancybox for media display, Slick Carousel for sliders, Leaflet for maps, and DataTables for tabular data. The site loads resources from reputable CDNs and uses lazy loading for images, improving performance. Mobile responsiveness is good, though the use of older Bootstrap and jQuery versions suggests potential modernization opportunities. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site’s SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from updates to newer frontend frameworks and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
