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

7 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

  2. 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

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 event is positioned as a key annual trade fair in Belgium's finishing construction sector, with a history of 17 editions and plans for the 18th in 2025. Its competitive advantage lies in combining traditional exhibition stands with practical product demonstrations and seminars, attracting a targeted audience of active construction professionals. Revenue streams likely include exhibitor fees, sponsorships, and ancillary services such as the webshop. The partnership ecosystem includes Embuild and media partners, enhancing credibility and reach. The business model focuses on event organization and industry networking, with growth potential tied to sector demand and digital engagement. The website supports this with clear calls to action for registration and exhibitor participation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communications. The use of nonce tokens in AJAX calls indicates awareness of CSRF protection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents a gap that could be exploited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be improved to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic SEO audits to maintain technical quality.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by plugins such as Contact Form 7 for forms, WPML for multilingual support, and Photo Gallery for media display. The site loads scripts and styles from trusted CDNs and Google Fonts, ensuring performance and reliability. The presence of AJAX nonce tokens and lazy loading indicates some optimization efforts. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in caching and asset minification. Mobile responsiveness is good, and the site structure supports SEO best practices. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security header implementation and cookie consent are areas for technical enhancement.
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.
