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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Cvent operates a B2B SaaS business model focused on event management and hospitality sourcing. Their revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, platform usage fees, and marketing services. The company targets enterprise clients and event professionals, leveraging partnerships with marketing and analytics providers such as Marketo, Bizible, and Optimizely. The website's extensive use of tracking and marketing tools indicates a sophisticated digital marketing strategy. The presence of multiple social media channels and customer support contact points enhances customer engagement and trust. No parent company or subsidiaries were identified from the data, suggesting Cvent operates as a standalone entity or under undisclosed ownership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and bot protection via CHEQ. Consent management is handled through OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of Datadog RUM and Adobe DTM indicates active monitoring and tag management. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Explicitly configure and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear security contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management foundation. It leverages a comprehensive set of marketing and analytics technologies including Marketo, Bizible, Optimizely, RudderStack, and Datadog RUM, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Performance optimizations such as lazy loading, preconnect, and preload hints are implemented. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and viewport settings. Accessibility features appear adequate though not explicitly detailed. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports scalability, performance, and rich user experience, with opportunities to improve security header configurations and transparency.
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.
