Security score

39/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Международен панаир Пловдив is a prominent organizer of international fairs and exhibitions in Southeastern Europe, providing a platform for various industries including agriculture, wine production, food, medicine, and technology. The website presents a professional and content-rich digital presence with detailed event calendars and services for exhibitors and visitors. Technically, the site employs modern analytics and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, and it is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although security headers could be improved. The domain WHOIS data is limited due to GDPR privacy but the domain status and website content strongly indicate a legitimate and established business entity.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. 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

  3. 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 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';…

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The company holds a leading market position as a major organizer of trade fairs in Bulgaria and the region, targeting businesses, professionals, and visitors interested in trade shows and exhibitions. Its business model revolves around event organization, exhibition space rental, and related services. The website's partnership ecosystem includes official catalog sites and service providers. The presence of multiple upcoming events and a large visitor base indicates growth and strong market engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. However, the absence of key security headers and a public security policy or incident response contact are gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and enhancing security headers to align with best practices. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy policy and cookie management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue enhancing accessibility and SEO to maintain and improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and Slick Carousel for UI components. The HTML is valid and the site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses multiple favicon sizes and includes meta viewport for responsive design. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional user experience.
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.
