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. 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

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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
  • 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 business operates in the media sector with a niche focus on European music events. Its business model revolves around event discovery and ticket sales, likely generating revenue through affiliate ticketing partnerships and advertising (Google Adsense). The platform's market position is that of a specialized regional event aggregator, serving a targeted audience of festival and concert goers. The company behind the domain is Gransy s.r.o., a Czech entity consistent with the website's regional focus. The platform shows signs of moderate digital maturity with integration of analytics and advertising tools, but lacks visible privacy and security policies which could impact user trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, CSRF token presence, and use of origin-trial meta tags indicating experimental security features. Security headers are partially present but could be improved by adding explicit Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which could pose compliance risks under GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy to enhance browser security.
  3. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program including a security.txt file and dedicated contact channels.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to minimize tracking and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and lightweight JavaScript framework (Alpine.js) for interactivity, combined with standard HTML5 and CSS3 for layout and styling. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and Google Adsense for monetization. Images and media are served from Amazon S3, indicating a scalable hosting setup. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as canonical tags, hreflang for multilingual support, and structured data for events and artists. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and privacy-focused improvements.
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.
