Eventbrite is a leading global online event management and ticketing platform that enables users to discover and attend local events such as concerts, workshops, festivals, and charity events. The platform also provides event organizers with tools for ticket sales, marketing, and event management. The website demonstrates a strong market position with a comprehensive suite of services targeting both event attendees and organizers worldwide. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks like Next.js and React, with extensive use of analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and TikTok Pixel. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, providing a professional user experience. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, employs security headers, and integrates consent management for privacy compliance, reflecting a mature 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

3 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. 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

Eventbrite operates in the e-commerce and technology sectors, focusing on event ticketing and management. Its business model revolves around facilitating event discovery and ticket sales, generating revenue through service fees and advertising. The platform targets a broad audience including event organizers, attendees, and businesses seeking event marketing solutions. Eventbrite's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offerings, global reach, and strong brand recognition. The company maintains an active presence on major social media platforms, enhancing customer engagement and brand visibility. Strategic partnerships and integrations with payment processors and marketing tools further strengthen its ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a large-scale operation with a focus on user experience and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and integration of a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern security best practices is evident, although the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures in place are appropriate for the business type and scale, minimizing risks related to data breaches and privacy violations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses on the website.
  3. Enhance transparency by displaying relevant security certifications or compliance badges prominently.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.
  5. Continue investing in security awareness and culture to maintain and improve the security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. It leverages multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Heap Analytics for data-driven insights and advertising. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the extensive use of third-party scripts and rich media content. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the use of CDN domains suggests a distributed content delivery approach. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to further optimize loading times and reduce third-party dependencies for enhanced performance.
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.
