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.

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 technology sector, focusing on event discovery and ticketing services. Its business model revolves around providing an online marketplace and management tools for live events, generating revenue through ticket sales fees and premium services. The platform serves a broad customer base including individual organizers, businesses, and non-profits. Eventbrite's extensive global presence and partnerships enhance its competitive advantage. The company maintains active engagement through social media and offers localized services for the Netherlands, indicating strategic market adaptation and growth potential.

Security posture

Eventbrite exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure data handling practices. The use of a consent management platform ensures compliance with privacy laws. However, the absence of a publicly visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The platform's security measures align well with industry best practices, supporting business continuity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts to improve security communication.
  4. Maintain and update consent management tools to adapt to evolving privacy regulations.
  5. Continue investing in accessibility and performance optimizations to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Branch.io, Facebook Pixel, and TikTok Pixel. The infrastructure appears cloud-hosted with CDN usage for static assets, ensuring fast load times and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features. Technical debt appears minimal, with opportunities for further modernization including enhanced transparency on security practices and data retention policies.
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.
