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

AV Alliance operates as a premium global network of audiovisual and event technology companies, providing state-of-the-art equipment rental and event production services across 53 countries and over 100 locations. The website presents a professional and multimedia-rich platform showcasing their services including live events, hybrid event solutions, and live streaming. The business model focuses on connecting clients with local AV companies worldwide, emphasizing global reach with local expertise. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO, analytics, and cookie management, hosted with domain registration via Amazon Registrar and DNS managed by Cloudflare. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections, but lacks advanced DNS security features like DNSSEC and explicit security policies or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partial with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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

4 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 AV Alliance holds a strong market position as a global network of premium AV and event technology providers, targeting event organizers and corporate clients seeking high-quality audiovisual solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive worldwide presence and curated member companies offering cutting-edge technology. The business model is network-based, generating value by facilitating connections between clients and local AV providers. Growth indicators include a large number of yearly projects and geographic coverage. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with multiple member companies featured on the site. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance direct contact information visibility and formalize compliance documentation to strengthen client trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks a formal privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing and informational site but should be enhanced to meet higher standards and client expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and transparency.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response information to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-structured theme and plugins including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Cookie Law Info. It uses jQuery and Leaflet.js for interactive maps, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing integrations. The site loads multimedia content such as videos and interactive sliders, indicating moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The hosting and DNS setup is stable with Cloudflare DNS and Amazon Registrar domain management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
