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

CMP Entertainment is a boutique live music entertainment company specializing in promoting and producing concerts and tours across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America. The company has a strong market presence with millions of tickets sold and over 500 shows annually, working with a diverse range of artists including tribute bands and established acts. Their business model focuses on live event promotion and tour production, targeting music fans and event promoters. The website reflects a professional brand image with consistent design and clear navigation, supporting their market position as an established boutique promoter. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Typekit fonts and the Plyr video player. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with basic SEO and accessibility features. Hosting and infrastructure are managed by Squarespace, providing reliable uptime and HTTPS security. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has HSTS enabled, indicating a good baseline security posture. However, it lacks several recommended security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, limiting immediate communication channels. Overall, CMP Entertainment's website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and clearer domain registration transparency to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

  3. 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

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

CMP Entertainment operates in the live music and entertainment sector, focusing on concert and tour promotion. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience with a high volume of shows and a broad geographic reach. The business model centers on event production and artist promotion, generating revenue through ticket sales and partnerships. Target customers include music fans, venue operators, and event promoters. The company maintains an active social media presence, enhancing brand visibility and engagement. Growth indicators include a diverse artist roster and international touring capabilities. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve digital compliance and domain transparency to support sustained growth and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and HSTS implemented, ensuring encrypted communications and protection against protocol downgrade attacks. However, the lack of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential clickjacking and content injection risks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing security contact information. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, enhancements are needed to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user rights and security commitments.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to enhance transparency and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web fonts from Typekit and the Plyr video player for multimedia content. The site is hosted on Squarespace's infrastructure, benefiting from their managed hosting environment and HTTPS support. Performance is moderate with optimized images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but could be enhanced with structured data for events and artists. The technical stack is stable but could be modernized with additional security and compliance features to reduce technical debt and improve user experience.
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.
