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

3 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. 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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

CIFF holds a significant market position as one of Europe's leading fashion trade platforms, leveraging a business model focused on event organization and exhibitor services. Their revenue streams likely include exhibitor fees, ticket sales, and partnerships. The company targets fashion industry professionals and buyers, supported by a strong brand and consistent messaging. The parent company Bella Group provides additional corporate backing. The website's integration with third-party services like Typeform for applications and Cookiebot for consent management indicates a mature partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent news updates and active social media presence. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency with published terms of service and security policies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a security.txt file limits the site's defense-in-depth and vulnerability disclosure readiness. Incident response contact channels are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add a clearly accessible terms of service page to improve legal clarity.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve security readiness.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and consent mechanisms to maintain compliance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and optimized asset loading for performance. Use of Cloudinary for media and Vimeo for video content indicates reliance on reputable third-party platforms. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or performance bottlenecks were observed. Hosting details are not explicit but likely cloud-based with CDN support. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, reliable user experience suitable for a professional event platform.
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.
