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.
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"
This scan found 25 issues across 5 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates in the media and events sector, leveraging the strong brand of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung to attract a medium-sized audience of professionals and decision makers. Its business model revolves around organizing conferences with high-profile speakers and practical content. The website reflects a stable market position with consistent branding and professional content. The use of multilingual plugins suggests an international or at least German-speaking European target market. No direct contact details or certifications were found, which could be improved to enhance credibility. The company appears to be relatively new, founded around 2020, aligning with the domain age.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles, indicating a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security policies reduces transparency. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be a potential area for improvement. The site uses common WordPress plugins, which if kept updated, reduce vulnerability risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were identified. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, which is a gap in security maturity.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user and data handling expectations.
Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incidents.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Borlabs Cookie for cookie management, Slider Revolution for visual content, and WPML for multilingual support. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses preconnect hints for Google Fonts, indicating performance optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO metadata is well implemented. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site could improve accessibility features and implement additional security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and performant web presence.
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.
