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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

ECAL operates a SaaS business model focused on calendar marketing, serving diverse sectors including sports, media, ticketing, and lifestyle. Their competitive advantage lies in deep calendar integration and personalized marketing capabilities. The company has a broad partnership ecosystem with CRM and analytics providers, enhancing their marketing automation and data insights. The domain age and WHOIS data support a long-standing business presence. The website content and customer logos indicate strong market penetration and brand recognition. Growth indicators include multiple product offerings and a free trial model to attract new customers.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and multiple security headers, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party services but should maintain vigilance on third-party script security. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced with formal policies and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit company contact emails for security and abuse reporting to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS using the Flatsome theme, leveraging jQuery and Gravity Forms for interactive elements. Integration with Zoho CRM and PageSense indicates advanced marketing automation and analytics capabilities. The site is hosted on AWS infrastructure, as indicated by DNS servers. Performance optimizations include preconnects, preloads, and asynchronous script loading. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well implemented. SEO is enhanced with Rank Math plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical stack is robust, supporting scalability and user engagement, with minor opportunities for further security hardening.
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.
