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

5 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

ComplexCon operates as a medium-sized event organizer within the media and retail sectors, leveraging Complex's brand equity. Its business model centers on event ticket sales, brand partnerships, and merchandising. The festival appeals to a niche but growing market of pop culture and streetwear consumers, supported by a strong social media ecosystem and partnerships with ticketing platforms like Tixr. The company maintains consistent branding and a professional online presence, which supports its market position as a premier cultural festival. Growth opportunities include expanding digital engagement and enhancing direct contact channels for customer support and security communications.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enabled, domain status protections, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to strengthen DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of multiple third-party tracking and analytics scripts is managed with user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and contact points.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and maintain privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and AWS infrastructure, ensuring scalability and performance. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and integrates multiple tracking pixels for marketing purposes, all managed through a consent management platform (Osano). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with efficient media usage and asynchronous script loading. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security and privacy 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.
