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

Afterglow Events is a Malta-based event organizing company established in 2011, specializing in event planning, entertainment, promotions, and hosting services. The company targets both private individuals and businesses, offering tailored event experiences including kids animation and corporate events. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the site is built on the Wix platform utilizing modern technologies such as React and various Wix apps, though mobile optimization is basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche, though improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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

8 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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
  • 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

Afterglow Events operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on event management and entertainment services in Malta. Their business model includes in-house departments for kids animation, promoters & hosts, and corporate events, enabling them to offer comprehensive event solutions. The company has a strong local presence with social media engagement on Facebook and Instagram. The website's integration with Wix's e-commerce and booking platforms suggests potential revenue streams from event bookings and merchandise. The absence of detailed privacy and security policies indicates room for growth in compliance and customer trust. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes basic security headers, indicating a good baseline security posture. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML content. The use of Facebook SDK and Pixel is implemented with asynchronous loading, reducing performance impact. However, the lack of explicit privacy, cookie, and incident response policies represents a compliance gap, particularly concerning GDPR. No vulnerability disclosures or security certifications are present. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers such as Content Security Policy and clear user data handling disclosures to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link a comprehensive Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add a Terms of Service page outlining user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Enhance security headers by adding Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Include an incident response policy and contact information for security issues (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging React and multiple Wix applications such as Wix Events, Stores, Bookings, and Restaurants. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. The site is hosted on Wix's infrastructure with static assets served from Wix's CDN (static.wixstatic.com and static.parastorage.com). Performance is moderate with some room for improvement in mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks advanced SEO features. The site uses Facebook SDK for social integration and tracking, indicating moderate marketing sophistication.
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.
