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

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.

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.

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 position in the event venue market in Germany, leveraging its location and extensive facilities. Its business model focuses on providing comprehensive event solutions including venue rental, technical equipment, and catering. The website highlights memberships in various organizations, indicating industry integration and trust. The presence of a detailed event calendar and news section suggests active engagement with the event community. Partnerships with Messe Düsseldorf and virtual tour providers enhance its service offering. The target audience includes business event planners, exhibitors, and large-scale event organizers, with a focus on hybrid and sustainable events.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, uses cookie consent tools, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could be a gap in transparency. The site uses trusted plugins and libraries, and no vulnerable components were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional HTTP headers and published security policies.
Recommendations
Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance data retention and privacy policy details to align with GDPR best practices.
Consider adding more visible contact information including physical address and email contacts for better user trust.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, using modern JavaScript libraries such as Video.js and lazy loading for images, which improves performance. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Cookie consent is managed via Borlabs Cookie plugin, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate, with some minified CSS and JS assets. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses social media integration and multimedia content effectively. Technical risks are low, but the absence of some security headers and incident response info are areas for improvement.
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.
