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

2 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 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. 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

Bandsintown holds a strong market position as a premier live music discovery service, targeting music enthusiasts and event professionals. Its business model centers on providing concert and festival information, ticket sales facilitation, and artist-fan connectivity. The platform's extensive user base and partnerships with artists and venues underpin its competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include ticketing commissions, advertising, and premium festival listings. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem, including integrations with major social media and music platforms. Growth indicators include active event listings, app downloads, and verified festival endorsements. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on mobile engagement, personalized recommendations, and expanding festival partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, CSRF tokens implemented, and cookie consent aligned with GDPR requirements. Use of OAuth for authentication via Apple, Google, and Facebook enhances security. However, explicit presence of security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy was not confirmed in the provided data and should be audited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating an area for improvement in transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good, supporting safe user interactions and data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Conduct a thorough audit and implementation of all recommended security headers (e.g., X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Content-Security-Policy).
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Consider providing clear company contact information on the website to improve business credibility and user support.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and advertising integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework, likely React, with a single-page application architecture. It integrates multiple third-party services including Facebook SDK, Google Tag Manager, and various ad networks. Performance is moderate with preconnect hints and deferred script loading to optimize speed. Mobile optimization is good, supported by dedicated app download prompts and responsive design elements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang tags for multiple languages. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the use of CDN assets and global services suggests a robust infrastructure. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
