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.

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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

The company holds a strong market position as a specialized congress agency with a 25-year history, indicating stability and experience. Their business model focuses on service provision in event and congress management, targeting professional and organizational clients. The presence of a dedicated congress calendar subdomain suggests an ecosystem approach to service delivery. Social media integration and marketing tools indicate active engagement with clients and prospects. The lack of visible contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests contact is managed via dedicated pages or forms, which may be a deliberate privacy or spam mitigation strategy. No certifications or formal security policies are publicly disclosed, which could be an area for future enhancement to build trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security score. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The inclusion of third-party scripts like Facebook Pixel requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a medium-sized service provider but could be improved with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide visible contact information to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and stable CMS platform (TYPO3) combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. Hosting on AWS DNS servers suggests reliable infrastructure. The site uses modern analytics tools with a privacy-conscious approach (Matomo) alongside Facebook Pixel for marketing. Performance appears moderate with optimized images and responsive layouts. The cookie consent implementation is comprehensive, supporting multiple categories and user choices. However, the lack of visible security headers and limited accessibility features indicate areas for technical improvement. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility measures.
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.
