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

4 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

The Swiss Medtech Expo operates in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors, targeting medtech professionals and companies. Its business model revolves around event organization, content provision, and community networking. The platform benefits from partnerships with Messe Luzern and maintains a professional digital presence. Revenue streams likely include event ticketing, exhibitor participation, and sponsorships. The company demonstrates growth through continuous content updates and a year-round platform. Its partnership ecosystem includes Messe Luzern and LinkedIn for outreach. Strategic observations highlight a strong market position in Swiss medtech events and a comprehensive digital engagement strategy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliant with GDPR, and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file, which are recommended for transparency and vulnerability management. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected. The use of deferred script loading and external trusted services like Google Tag Manager enhances security. Compliance with privacy regulations is evident, but incident response readiness and explicit security frameworks are absent, representing areas for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap framework, and FontAwesome icons. It integrates third-party scripts for cookie consent and analytics (Google Tag Manager). The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts to improve load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adding security headers and improving incident response transparency.
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.
