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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The Estonian Convention Bureau holds a strategic position as a facilitator and promoter of Estonia as a business event destination. Its business model revolves around providing information, contacts, and digital tools to event planners, enhancing Estonia's attractiveness for conferences and meetings. The bureau leverages partnerships with national tourism and international congress associations, strengthening its ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include service facilitation and possibly sponsorships or government funding. The target market includes international and local event organizers seeking venues and services in Estonia. Growth indicators include active content updates, event calendars, and digital planner tools. The partnership ecosystem is robust with links to Visit Estonia and ICCA. Strategic observations suggest a focused niche with potential for expansion in digital services and sustainability initiatives.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling using nonce tokens. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for enhancement. A minor PHP warning visible in the HTML output indicates a need for improved error handling and code hygiene. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for strengthening defenses and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Resolve PHP warnings and ensure error messages are not exposed to end users to prevent information leakage.
  3. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a strong security culture.

The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for improved search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting the business objectives effectively.
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.
