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

Cvent is a leading enterprise software provider specializing in event management, marketing, and attendee engagement solutions, with additional platforms to support hotel sourcing. The company targets event planners, marketers, and hospitality professionals, offering a comprehensive SaaS platform that supports in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Their market position is strong, supported by a professional and well-branded website that reflects their enterprise scale and industry focus. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 and integrates multiple advanced marketing and analytics tools such as Marketo, Datadog RUM, and RudderStack, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement, modern security headers, and anti-bot measures like Google reCAPTCHA. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security policy and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency. Overall, the website and business present a low-risk profile with strong credibility and technical maturity.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 in the technology sector with a focus on hospitality and event management. Their business model is B2B SaaS, providing software solutions that streamline event planning and hotel sourcing. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with marketing automation and analytics platforms to enhance customer engagement and data-driven decision-making. Their target customers include corporate event planners, marketers, and hotels seeking to optimize business sourcing. The website's content and structure indicate a well-established enterprise with consistent branding and a clear value proposition. The presence of multiple social media channels and structured data enhances their market visibility and trust. No parent company or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. The integration of advanced monitoring tools like Datadog RUM and security-related scripts indicates proactive security and performance monitoring. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which is a common gap but recommended to improve. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced disclosure and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and user data protection measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging a modern and scalable platform. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools including Marketo, Datadog RUM, RudderStack, Optimizely, and Bizible, reflecting a sophisticated marketing technology stack. Performance is moderate with optimizations such as preloading fonts and scripts, and mobile responsiveness is excellent. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data for organization and contact information. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found, but the use of CDN and cloud services is evident.
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.
