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

Hive is a specialized marketing platform designed for live event promoters, offering integrated tools for email and SMS marketing, CRM, automation, and analytics to optimize ticket sales. The platform integrates seamlessly with popular ticketing providers, enabling real-time data synchronization and targeted fan engagement. Hive positions itself as a niche leader in event marketing technology, supported by a professional website with comprehensive resources and customer testimonials. Technically, Hive leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Analytics, PostHog, and Cookiebot for consent management, ensuring a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. The site employs secure HTTPS connections and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, Hive demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement, secure form handling, and privacy compliance with GDPR indicators. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is redacted, which is common but reduces transparency regarding domain ownership. Overall, Hive presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, publishing incident response information, and improving direct contact availability to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

  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.

    • 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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.hive.co points to unregistered service hive-staging-1762713937.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Hive operates in the media sector, focusing on event marketing for promoters. Its SaaS business model centers on providing marketing automation and CRM solutions integrated with ticketing platforms. The company targets event promoters who require efficient tools to manage campaigns and increase ticket sales. Hive's market position is strengthened by partnerships with major ticketing providers and recognizable brands like Warner and Insomniac. The platform's comprehensive resource library and case studies indicate a commitment to customer education and success. Growth potential is supported by the increasing demand for data-driven event marketing solutions. Hive's ecosystem includes integrations with analytics and marketing tools, enhancing its competitive advantage.

Security posture

Hive's security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Cookiebot indicates attention to privacy compliance and consent management. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels represents a compliance gap. The site uses multiple third-party scripts which should be regularly audited to mitigate risks. No critical vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations were detected in the analysis. Overall, Hive demonstrates a mature security culture but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

Analytics are managed through Google Analytics, PostHog, and Crazy Egg, integrated via Google Tag Manager. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, reflecting GDPR compliance efforts. The site is hosted on Webflow's platform, ensuring fast loading times and mobile optimization. The technical implementation is robust with clean HTML/CSS and responsive design. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation. The current technical stack supports scalability and integration with multiple ticketing and marketing platforms, aligning well with Hive's business objectives.
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.
