Security score

56/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website represents a professional and well-structured event platform for the 17th ITS European Congress 2026 in Istanbul, focusing on Intelligent Transport Systems and smart mobility. It targets industry professionals, exhibitors, speakers, and partners, providing comprehensive event information and participation opportunities. The technical infrastructure is based on Drupal CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and Matomo analytics, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and cookie consent implemented, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and branding suggest a legitimate business operation. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and well-optimized for users, but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…

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 ITS European Congress is positioned as a leading event in the European transportation and smart mobility sector, attracting international speakers, exhibitors, and partners. The business model revolves around event organization, industry networking, and partnership development. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and a clear focus on ITS technology and policy convergence. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized entities such as the European Commission. Growth indicators include active calls for contributions and extensive event promotion. The lack of direct contact details and WHOIS data suggests a need for improved business transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no published privacy or security policies were found. The use of Matomo analytics suggests moderate user tracking with some privacy considerations. The absence of contact information for incident response or data protection officers limits the site's compliance posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with enhanced policy publication and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance transparency and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Monitor and ensure domain WHOIS data is properly registered and publicly available to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with integration of modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and Fancybox for UI enhancements. Matomo analytics is used for user tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with external resources loaded from reputable CDNs. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, but the lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to ensure long-term operational stability and trust.
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.
