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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

    • 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

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

Merantix AI Campus positions itself as a leading European AI hub, leveraging a community-driven business model that combines workspace residency, event hosting, and networking opportunities. Its target audience includes AI professionals across multiple roles, from founders to policy makers. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem and a clear brand identity. Revenue streams likely include workspace leasing, event sponsorships, and community memberships. The website's integration with HubSpot and Google Analytics indicates a mature approach to marketing and lead generation. The lack of explicit company registration and VAT information on the site is a minor gap in business transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and secure form handling including GDPR consent checkboxes. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency in incident response. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced headers, cookie consent, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Add a comprehensive cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to confirm domain registration legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern front-end technologies including GSAP for animations, HubSpot for form management, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices, providing an excellent user experience. The use of CDN-hosted assets and asynchronous script loading contributes to performance. However, the absence of some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. The site architecture supports dynamic content such as event listings and video embeds, demonstrating a mature and scalable technical infrastructure.
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.
