Risk levelHigh

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

ILM Offenbach operates as a leading international trade fair for the leather goods industry, serving as a key platform for brands, retailers, and industry players worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as Vue.js, Google Tag Manager, and CookieFirst for consent management. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides rich content including testimonials and event information, positioning ILM as a premier B2B event organizer in the retail sector. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and bot protection, though some security headers and explicit policies are missing. Privacy compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent but lacks a visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with a legitimate business entity, and no blocking or WAF interference was detected.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

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

ILM Offenbach holds a strong market position as the world's most important marketplace for the international leather goods sector. Its business model centers on organizing biannual trade fairs that connect brands and buyers, facilitating networking and business growth. The website targets international professional audiences, including retailers and manufacturers. The presence of high-profile testimonials and a broad range of key industry brands underscores its influence. The company leverages modern web technologies and tracking tools to optimize user engagement and marketing effectiveness. However, the absence of explicit contact details and formal policies may limit transparency for some stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, Google reCAPTCHA integration, and a cookie consent mechanism. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site would benefit from formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response procedures to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a trade fair website but could be improved to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they comply with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (likely Vue.js) with Vite as the build tool, indicating a contemporary front-end architecture. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation. CookieFirst is used for cookie consent management, reflecting attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and features responsive design elements. Hosting appears to be managed via domaincontrol.com (GoDaddy), a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and module preloading. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and formal policies would enhance robustness.
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.
