Messe Friedrichshafen is a leading German trade fair company specializing in leisure-themed exhibitions and events, holding a prominent market position in Europe. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, utilizing technologies such as Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides rich content about events and services, although direct contact information and detailed privacy policies are not explicitly found in the provided content.

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

3 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"

  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

The company operates in the transportation and hospitality sectors, focusing on event hosting and exhibition services. It targets exhibitors, visitors, and event organizers in leisure industries. The business model revolves around organizing and managing trade fairs, ticketing, and venue services. Messe Friedrichshafen maintains partnerships with event-specific domains such as vertical-pro.de, interboot.de, and aero-expo.de, indicating a broad event portfolio. The company is large in size and well-established in the German and European markets. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a strong market presence and professional image.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a consent management platform (Usercentrics), indicating awareness of privacy and security compliance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, with default consent settings denying ad and analytics storage until user consent is given. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information are present, which are areas for improvement. Security headers are partially implemented via meta tags, but explicit HTTP headers like Content-Security-Policy are not evident. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The overall security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for a corporate website but with potential to enhance transparency and defense-in-depth.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the homepage.
  2. Implement and advertise a security policy including incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  4. Provide verified company contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with GDPR and minimize user tracking.

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.
