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

Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre operates as a venue specializing in hosting automotive events, launches, and exhibitions. The website targets event organizers and automotive industry professionals, positioning itself as a reputable medium-sized venue in the UK transportation sector. The content is professionally presented with a clear focus on event hosting services. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA, though some security headers are missing. The security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities, but the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as missing contact information, represent compliance and trust gaps. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and technical setup suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency through published policies and contact details. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and security policies, adding incident response contacts, and improving security headers to 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

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.

    • 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
    • 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

Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre holds a strategic position as a venue provider in the UK automotive event market. Its business model revolves around venue rental and event hosting, catering primarily to automotive industry stakeholders. The company leverages partnerships with major advertising and analytics platforms to optimize marketing and user engagement. The absence of detailed company registration data and contact information limits deeper business intelligence insights. However, the use of advanced tracking and consent tools indicates a mature digital marketing approach. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding digital presence and enhancing transparency to attract more clients and partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent management is implemented via Cookiebot, reflecting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and some recommended security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy) indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy verification and could impact trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages linked prominently on the website.
  2. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance and minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with CSS preloading, font optimization, and asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts. Technologies detected include Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with multiple external dependencies. No CMS or hosting provider was explicitly identified from the content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party trackers which require ongoing privacy compliance monitoring.
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.
