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. 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';…
  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 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

Leipziger Messe GmbH is positioned as a key player in the hospitality and event sector, providing integrated event services and venue management. Their business model focuses on hosting trade fairs, exhibitions, and congresses, supported by comprehensive services. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem and recognized certifications, enhancing credibility. The website targets a professional audience including event organizers and exhibitors, supporting growth through digital presence and transparent communication. The absence of direct contact emails on the homepage suggests a preference for contact forms or dedicated contact pages, aligning with professional business practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the HTML source, representing an area for enhancement. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the visible content. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR compliance and best practices but could benefit from formalizing security policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly configure security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Ensure all external scripts and libraries are regularly audited and updated to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by including verified company contact emails or phone numbers for support and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript frameworks such as Glide.js for sliders and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The presence of a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism indicates attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details and CMS are not explicitly identified, but the site appears professionally maintained with moderate performance. Opportunities exist to improve technical security by adding explicit security headers and formalizing security documentation.
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.
