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

Eventbrite is a leading global event management and ticketing platform with a localized presence in New Zealand. The website offers a comprehensive suite of services including event ticketing, marketing, payment processing, and mobile applications for both organizers and attendees. The platform targets a broad audience ranging from individual event creators to large organizations, providing tools to create, promote, and manage events efficiently. The business model is primarily based on service fees and marketing solutions, positioning Eventbrite as a dominant player in the event technology sector. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure leveraging modern technologies such as React, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and third-party marketing and consent management tools like Branch.io and Transcend. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, ensuring a smooth user experience across devices. Accessibility features are present but could be enhanced further. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS with strong SSL configurations and implements key security headers to protect users. Consent management for cookies and privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting a strong commitment to privacy and regulatory adherence. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, Eventbrite's New Zealand site reflects a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform consistent with its global brand. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection or registry policies and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing incident response transparency to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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

4 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 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.

Business context

Business profile

Eventbrite holds a strong market position as a global leader in event management technology, offering a scalable platform that serves diverse customer segments including individual organizers, businesses, and non-profits. Its competitive advantages include a comprehensive feature set, localized market presence, and integration with major advertising and analytics platforms. Revenue streams are diversified across ticketing fees, marketing services, and app marketplaces. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem and a robust social media presence, supporting growth and brand recognition.

Security posture

The security posture of Eventbrite's New Zealand website is robust, featuring HTTPS encryption, modern security headers, and a consent management framework that aligns with privacy regulations such as GDPR. The site avoids exposing sensitive information and integrates trusted third-party analytics and marketing tools responsibly. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy and vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the security culture appears mature, but formalizing these aspects would enhance stakeholder confidence and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
