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

Eventival.com is a professional SaaS platform specializing in film festival and event management software. The company, Pro-idea s.r.o., founded in 2009 and based in the Czech Republic, offers a comprehensive and widely adopted solution for film festivals worldwide, boasting over 100 clients and extensive industry integrations. The website is well-designed, content-rich, and optimized for mobile, providing a positive user experience and clear business positioning as a market leader in its niche. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Maps API, with good performance and basic accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers and policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie policy present but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages detected. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which reduces domain transparency and trustworthiness despite the professional appearance and business legitimacy. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its industry but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

5 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Eventival operates in the media sector, targeting film festivals, music festivals, and event organizers globally. Its SaaS business model focuses on providing a centralized platform for managing film submissions, event logistics, guest communications, and audience engagement. The company leverages a strong client base of prestigious festivals and industry partners, supported by testimonials and integrations with other film industry platforms. Growth indicators include a large user base, international reach across 40+ countries, and continuous onboarding of new users weekly. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, reinforcing its market leadership. However, the lack of public WHOIS data and absence of direct contact information on the website may limit some trust aspects for new clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, lack of visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy, and no published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt reduce the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response contact information is not provided, which could delay handling of security issues. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which is a concern for transparency but may be due to privacy protection. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a SaaS platform but could be improved with better documentation and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Owl Carousel, CSS3 animations, and Google Maps API. The HTML structure is valid and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available from the HTML content. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and additional security headers to reduce technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization 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.
