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.

Priority findings

1 finding 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.

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 ARENA SUMMIT is positioned as the premier event for the stadium and arena sector in the German-speaking market, attracting over 800 participants and numerous partners. Its business model revolves around event organization, industry networking, and knowledge exchange, supported by sponsorships and premium partnerships. The ecosystem includes media, marketing networks, and venue operators, creating a robust partnership network. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a professional approach to content and branding. Growth indicators include expanding program offerings and international speaker participation. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, spanning infrastructure providers, marketing agencies, and technology firms, enhancing the event's market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements. Client-side form validation is implemented to ensure data integrity. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The use of an older jQuery version (1.11.3) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, indicating a potential compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced header policies and updated libraries.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other third-party libraries to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and analytics integrations to ensure ongoing security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.7, jQuery 1.11.3, Font Awesome 5.0.6, and various UI enhancement libraries like Venobox and bxSlider. Google Analytics is integrated with IP anonymization enabled, reflecting privacy awareness. Hosting is managed by Hetzner, a reputable German provider, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and media content such as videos and image galleries. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but appears custom-built or lightly CMS-driven. Technical debt is indicated by older jQuery usage and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations to support business continuity and 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.
