Cvent is a leading enterprise software provider specializing in event management, marketing, and attendee engagement solutions. The company also offers sourcing platforms to help hotels win business, positioning itself as a key player in the event technology and hospitality sectors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content targeting event planners, marketers, and hospitality professionals. The platform supports in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, catering to a broad market segment. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 CMS and integrates multiple advanced marketing and analytics tools such as Adobe DTM, Marketo, Datadog RUM, RudderStack, and others. The site demonstrates strong digital maturity with fast performance, mobile optimization, and good SEO practices. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, content security policies, and bot mitigation services, although explicit security policy documentation is absent. The security posture is robust with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact is noted.

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 and hospitality sectors, providing SaaS solutions for event management and hotel sourcing. Its business model focuses on B2B services targeting event planners, marketers, and hospitality providers. The company holds a strong market position as a comprehensive event platform supporting various event formats. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, platform usage fees, and service integrations. The website's integration with marketing automation and analytics tools indicates a data-driven growth strategy. Partnerships with scheduling and marketing service providers enhance its ecosystem. The company's digital presence and social media engagement reflect a mature and professional brand with a global reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. Use of Google reCAPTCHA and third-party bot mitigation services like Cheq enhance protection against automated threats. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supported by consent banners. No direct evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data was found. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, which is common for enterprise domains but should be monitored. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from improved documentation and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging a modern and scalable content management framework. It integrates advanced marketing and analytics technologies including Adobe DTM, Marketo, Datadog RUM, RudderStack, and Bizible, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is optimized with preloading, asynchronous script loading, and CDN usage. Mobile optimization and responsive design are excellent, ensuring usability across devices. The site employs strong SEO practices with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Technical risks are minimal, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security 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.
