0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website 'Equativ at Cannes Lions 2025' serves as a professional event platform for Equativ's participation at the Cannes Lions festival. It offers detailed schedules, panel sessions, wellness activities, and exclusive invite-only events targeted at marketing and media professionals. The site facilitates user registration and meeting bookings, positioning itself as a niche event organizer within the media industry. Technically, the site employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Matomo analytics, hosted on Google Cloud Platform. The design is professional, mobile-optimized, and content-rich, providing a good user experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers and explicit policies are lacking. WHOIS data shows a suspicious future domain creation date, which may be a data anomaly but warrants monitoring. Overall, the site is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and professionally maintained, with room for security and policy enhancements.

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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

Equativ leverages this platform to engage with industry professionals during Cannes Lions, offering a blend of content-driven panels and networking events. The business model focuses on event-driven marketing and brand positioning within the media sector. The company SCAN-MATCH, legally responsible for the platform, is based in France and provides a credible business foundation. The site’s partnership with recognized service providers like Google Cloud and Matomo indicates a mature digital infrastructure. The absence of terms of service and explicit security policies suggests areas for growth in governance. The platform’s focus on exclusive, invite-only events and detailed session lineups reflects a strategic approach to high-value audience engagement.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, and a named Data Protection Officer is provided. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies reduce the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party libraries is modern but should be regularly audited. The suspicious WHOIS creation date is a minor concern but does not currently impact security. Enhancing security headers and publishing incident response contacts would strengthen the posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a robust and modern technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Font Awesome for icons, and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. Hosting on Google Cloud Platform ensures reliable infrastructure. The site loads multiple external CSS and JS libraries from trusted CDNs, contributing to performance and security. The presence of cookie consent and GDPR-compliant privacy policy indicates good privacy practices. However, the site lacks a CMS, which may impact content management efficiency. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for enhancement in security and accessibility.
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.
