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

Exponaut Ltd. operates a specialized B2B event networking and engagement platform designed for expos, trade fairs, and large events. Their core offering includes AI-powered matchmaking, digital expo platforms, and comprehensive event management tools that facilitate seamless integration of physical and virtual event experiences. The company targets event organizers, trade show managers, and associations seeking to enhance attendee engagement and generate new revenue streams. Their market position is that of a niche technology provider with a focus on innovative event solutions leveraging AI and digital transformation. Technically, the website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. It integrates third-party analytics and user behavior tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The platform supports iOS and Android apps, enhancing accessibility and user engagement across devices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, demonstrating good baseline security hygiene. However, it lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and published security or incident response policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, Exponaut presents a credible and professional online presence with strong business and technical foundations. To further enhance trust and compliance, the company should implement explicit cookie consent, publish security policies, and consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program. These steps will improve privacy compliance and security posture, supporting sustainable growth and customer confidence.

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 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 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

  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

Exponaut is positioned as a technology-driven event management solution provider focusing on AI matchmaking and hybrid event experiences. Their business model revolves around SaaS offerings for event organizers, enabling digital transformation of traditional expos and conferences. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees, event hosting charges, and premium features such as video meetings and marketplace functionalities. The company targets a diverse customer base including trade show organizers, associations, government entities, and corporations. Strategic partnerships, such as with AIM Congress, enhance their market reach and credibility. The presence of multilingual support and self-service portals indicates scalability and customer-centric design. Growth indicators include active event listings, case studies, and a visible social media footprint. The company operates from Estonia, aligning with a tech-savvy European market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of secure forms and absence of exposed credentials or sensitive data in the HTML are positive indicators. However, the lack of a cookie consent banner and explicit privacy compliance statements represents a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security policy is published, which may impact readiness for security events. The integration of third-party analytics and tracking tools requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance the privacy policy with explicit GDPR compliance details and data retention information.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and optimized performance. It leverages Swiper.js for interactive sliders and integrates analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for user behavior insights. The platform supports mobile optimization with responsive design and dedicated iOS and Android apps linked from the site. The absence of a traditional CMS suggests a custom-built solution tailored for event management. Performance is fast with preloading of critical images and asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The technical stack is current and well-suited for scalable event platform needs, though ongoing maintenance of third-party integrations is recommended to avoid technical debt.
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.
