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

Ambassador Events is a Malta-based boutique event management company specializing in bespoke event planning and concierge services, with a strong focus on the iGaming industry and high-end public events. The company has established a solid market position with a niche clientele, leveraging partnerships with notable industry players. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by client testimonials and partner logos. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates marketing and chat tools such as Google Tag Manager and Drift. While HTTPS is enabled, the security posture can be enhanced by adding security headers and formalizing privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is primarily via a contact form and social media channels, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, the site is accessible, well-structured, and moderately optimized for SEO and mobile use, but lacks some compliance and security best practices.

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

12 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

  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. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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
    • 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

  4. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 · 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 company operates in the hospitality sector, targeting corporate and private clients primarily in Malta but with international reach, especially within the iGaming community. Their business model centers on providing tailored event management and concierge services, capitalizing on industry expertise and a strong network of partners. The presence of multiple well-known iGaming brands as partners indicates a competitive advantage and a trusted reputation. The company appears to be small-sized, founded in 2013, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The website content and partner ecosystem suggest a stable and focused operation with growth potential in niche markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for compliance and trust. The use of third-party scripts like Drift and Google Tag Manager introduces potential tracking and privacy considerations. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are apparent, improvements are needed to enhance security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide explicit contact details such as company phone numbers and emails for better user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and Drift for live chat support. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern but requires better security hardening and compliance features to reduce risks and improve user trust.
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.
