Risk levelMedium

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

Clarity is a niche event organizer focused on the design systems community, hosting an annual retreat and conference that has reached its 10th year. The website presents a professional and well-branded presence, targeting design professionals interested in design systems. The business model centers on event ticket sales and community engagement. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Stripe for payments, and Tito for ticketing, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure payment integrations, though the absence of security headers and privacy policies are notable gaps. The lack of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy but does not appear to impact the operational professionalism of the site. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained but would benefit from improved transparency and compliance 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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

Clarity occupies a specialized market niche in the technology sector, focusing on design systems professionals. Its competitive advantage lies in its community-driven approach and longevity, having operated for a decade. Revenue streams are primarily from ticket sales for the retreat and conference. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable payment and ticketing providers, enhancing operational reliability. Growth indicators include the expansion of event offerings such as livestream and video passes. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to strengthen compliance and security posture to align with industry best practices and enhance trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security maturity level with HTTPS and secure third-party integrations. However, the absence of explicit security headers and published privacy or cookie policies indicates gaps in compliance and defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The security culture appears functional but could be improved by formalizing policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide a security contact email to enhance incident response readiness.
  4. Improve website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS registration data and ensure domain registration information is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with integrations for analytics (Google Analytics, GTM), marketing (Facebook Pixel), and payments (Stripe, Tito). The use of Google Fonts and WebFont Loader ensures consistent typography. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and asynchronous analytics. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting appears to be via Webflow's infrastructure, providing reliable uptime and SSL. Technical debt is low, but improvements in security headers and compliance documentation are recommended.
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.
