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

Media10 is an established UK-based media and events company specializing in producing live events, magazines, and digital content. With a history dating back to 2002, the company has positioned itself as an independent and award-winning leader in the media and experiential marketing industry. Their services include event production, content creation, and brand transformation, targeting event organizers, sponsors, and industry professionals. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure. It demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though performance is moderate and accessibility is basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhancement. From a security and compliance perspective, the site includes privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance indicators and provides clear contact information. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with room for security improvements. The risk assessment is low, with strategic recommendations focusing on enhancing DNS security, implementing security headers, and continuous plugin vulnerability management to maintain a strong security posture.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

Media10 operates in the media sector with a focus on live events and publishing. Their business model revolves around creating and managing large-scale events and producing related media content, generating revenue from event sponsorships, partnerships, and publishing. The company targets a broad audience including industry partners, sponsors, and consumers attending their events. Their market position is strengthened by a long operational history, multiple awards, and partnerships with major broadcasters and brands. The company maintains a medium size with offices in London and Glasgow, indicating regional reach and operational capacity. Their partnership ecosystem includes major media outlets and event brands, supporting growth and brand recognition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and domain transfer lock status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security effectiveness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. The site uses secure forms for search and contact, but no explicit incident response or security policy pages were found. Compliance with GDPR is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a focus on ease of content management and SEO optimization. The use of jQuery and other standard libraries is noted. Hosting appears to be via Amazon Registrar, suggesting AWS infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO metadata in place. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses video backgrounds and image carousels, which may impact load times but enhance user engagement. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
