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

4 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 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 retail and hospitality sectors, focusing on event organization and exhibition hosting. It targets a broad audience including families and shoppers. The business model relies on ticket sales, exhibitor participation, and cultural event programming. The company benefits from partnerships with reputable media and city organizations, enhancing its market position. The parent company, Comexposium, is a recognized event organizer. The website's content and partner ecosystem reflect a mature and established operation with strong brand consistency and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and user trust. No vulnerable libraries or security issues were detected in the HTML content. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing an incident response contact to improve security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing direct company contact emails or phone numbers for support and inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Sitecore CMS with Bootstrap 4 and jQuery libraries, integrating Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie consent. Performance is moderate with deferred and async loading of scripts. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with semantic HTML structure. Use of modern sliders and video embedding enhances user engagement. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adding security headers and optimizing third-party script usage. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable event website.
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.
