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

Fusion by ClearCourse is a UK-based provider of event management software and hardware solutions, serving exhibition and conference organisers globally. With over 25 years of industry experience, Fusion offers integrated tools for event registration, delivery, revenue optimisation, and visitor engagement. Their product suite includes Fusion Event Hub, Fusion Exhibit, and Fusion Visit, targeting event organisers seeking streamlined operations and enhanced attendee experiences. The company positions itself as a trusted partner with a strong client base and professional branding. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, responsive design, and CDN-hosted assets to deliver a performant and visually appealing user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and uses standard web fonts and embedded multimedia for marketing. However, the CMS appears proprietary with no common open-source platform detected. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a gap in compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a naming rules violation error from Nominet UK, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, Fusion presents a credible and professional business front with strong market positioning in event management technology. The main risks lie in the lack of transparency around domain registration and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include addressing privacy policy publication, enhancing security headers, and verifying domain registration status to strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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

  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

Fusion operates in the event management technology sector, offering a comprehensive suite of software and hardware solutions to event organisers worldwide. Their business model is B2B, focusing on integrated event planning, registration, and analytics tools. The company leverages its 25+ years of experience and parent company ClearCourse's backing to maintain a competitive edge. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, hardware sales, and service contracts. The target customers are exhibition and conference organisers seeking efficient event delivery and ROI maximisation. The partnership ecosystem includes ClearCourse and related service portals. Growth indicators include active client testimonials and a broad portfolio of event solutions. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved compliance and domain legitimacy verification to sustain market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a marketing website but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  4. Verify and rectify domain registration issues with Nominet UK to ensure legitimacy.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with use of web fonts (Open Sans, FontAwesome) and parallax scrolling via Skrollr. Static assets are served via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, improving load times and reliability. The site is responsive and mobile-optimized, with embedded multimedia content such as YouTube videos for marketing. No common CMS like WordPress or Joomla was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary CMS platform. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization in CSS loading and accessibility compliance. The technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and SEO 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.
