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

HoldMyTicket operates as an online ticketing platform specializing in selling tickets and promoting events for venues and festivals. The website targets event organizers, venues, and ticket buyers, offering a digital solution for event management and ticket sales. The platform positions itself as a niche player in the event ticketing industry with a focus on festivals and live entertainment. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and reCAPTCHA for security and analytics. Hosting assets on Amazon S3 and using CDNs indicates a scalable infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and bot management via Queue-it; however, the absence of explicit security headers and published privacy or terms of service pages suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, indicating it is part of a larger domain, which slightly reduces trust but does not negate legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, functional, and safe for general audiences.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  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

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 model centers on providing a SaaS platform for event ticketing and promotion, generating revenue likely through ticket sales commissions or subscription fees. The target market includes event venues, festival organizers, and consumers seeking tickets. The platform's integration with major analytics and social media tools supports marketing and user engagement efforts. The lack of visible contact information and formal policies may impact customer trust and compliance. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and a professional online presence, suggesting a medium-sized operation within the technology sector. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. Strategic partnerships or payment processors are not explicitly disclosed in the content analyzed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS encryption, use of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and Queue-it integration for traffic management. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. GDPR compliance is not clearly indicated, and no data protection officer contact was found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a commercial ticketing platform but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerable or deprecated libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with JavaScript frameworks, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and reCAPTCHA for user interaction and security. Static assets are served from Amazon S3 and CDN domains, indicating a cloud-based hosting infrastructure optimized for performance. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and user experience. SEO optimization is basic but present with meta keywords and description tags. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and formal policies suggests areas for modernization and compliance enhancement.
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.
