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

TrailCon is a specialized event organizer focusing on the trail running industry, hosting an annual conference that brings together brands, athletes, and fans to discuss and shape the future of trail running. The website presents a professional and well-structured platform showcasing event schedules, panelists, sponsors, and related activities. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. The site is hosted with WordPress.com nameservers and secured with HTTPS, though it lacks DNSSEC and some security headers. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and user experience but could improve in security and privacy 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

6 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"

    • 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

TrailCon positions itself as North America's premier trail running festival and industry conference, targeting stakeholders in the trail running community. Its business model revolves around event organization, education, and brand showcasing. The presence of well-known partners like Salomon and ON Running enhances its market credibility. The company was founded in 2021, aligning with the domain registration date. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a small-sized enterprise focused on niche sports events. The lack of direct contact information and privacy policies suggests room for maturity in customer engagement and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of common WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  4. Add explicit contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It leverages jQuery and Slider Revolution for interactive elements and Swiper for carousels. The hosting appears to be managed via WordPress.com infrastructure with Tucows Domains Inc. as the registrar. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site lacks advanced security configurations such as DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for modern web applications.
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.
