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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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. 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 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

ICFF operates in the retail and hospitality sectors as an event organizer specializing in furniture and design exhibitions. Its business model revolves around trade fair hosting, networking, and showcasing contemporary design innovations. The company benefits from a strong market position as a premier design fair in North America, with a medium-sized organizational footprint. The website supports business growth through digital marketing, analytics, and user engagement tools. Partnerships and third-party integrations enhance marketing reach, though no direct partner domains were identified. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via web forms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and domain status protections. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. However, the lack of DNSSEC and explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options indicates room for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks publicly disclosed security policies or incident response contacts, which could improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from additional hardening and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Gravity Forms, and Better Scroll for enhanced UI interactions. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with lazy loading ads and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and media queries. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. Hosting leverages Cloudflare DNS services, providing DNS resilience but DNSSEC is not enabled. Overall, the technical implementation supports business needs effectively with opportunities for security and accessibility 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.
