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

EXPO'STAT is a French organization specializing in the certification and control of statistical data related to fairs, exhibitions, congresses, and commercial events. Accredited by COFRAC, it offers services including CLEO activity reporting and verification of the quality of 'société à mission' companies. The website targets event organizers and professionals in the event industry, positioning itself as a trusted partner with a long-standing presence since 2008. Technically, the site uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery and several JavaScript libraries, but some components like jQuery are outdated, posing potential security risks. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is average, with no DNSSEC and missing security headers, and no visible cookie consent mechanism, indicating partial GDPR compliance. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention expostat.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for expostat.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

EXPO'STAT holds a strong niche position as a COFRAC-accredited body providing statistical certification and environmental-economic reporting for event organizers in France. Its business model revolves around service provision to event professionals, leveraging accreditation and proprietary tools like the CLEO calculator. The company demonstrates a clear target audience and offers specialized services that differentiate it from competitors. The presence on professional social networks and the use of accreditation logos enhance credibility. However, the lack of visible contact details and limited privacy compliance may impact customer trust. Growth potential exists through expanding digital presence and improving compliance and security standards.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. While domain registration protections are in place, technical security measures such as DNSSEC and security headers are missing. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are visible. GDPR compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected. The site uses HTTPS (implied but not confirmed), but SSL configuration details are unavailable. Overall, the security posture requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions.
  3. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web technology stack with jQuery 1.9.1, Pickadate.js, and Animate.css, supplemented by Google Fonts and Piwik analytics. The site lacks a modern CMS and appears custom-built or lightly templated. Performance is moderate with some animations and image sliders. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting details are unclear but DNS points to netsample.com name servers. The site would benefit from modernization, including responsive design improvements, updated libraries, and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
