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

NDC TechTown is a specialized software conference focused on embedded and systems programming, scheduled for September 2025 in Kongsberg, Norway. The website presents a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging a React/Next.js framework with integrations to HubSpot, Cloudflare, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site demonstrates good GDPR compliance with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and detailed cookie categorization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, Cloudflare CDN protection, and standard security headers, although there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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';…

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 business operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting software developers interested in embedded systems. Its business model centers on event organization and community engagement through conferences and workshops. The company appears to be small in size, with a focused niche market and consistent branding. The use of reputable third-party services and structured data enhances its market positioning and digital maturity. However, direct contact information is limited to forms, which may impact user trust and accessibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare protection, and a detailed cookie consent banner supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. Enhancing these aspects would improve incident readiness and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, hosted behind Cloudflare CDN, ensuring fast performance and global availability. Integration with HubSpot and Google Analytics supports marketing and user behavior analysis. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built solution. The technical implementation is robust with no visible technical debt or performance issues, though accessibility could be improved.
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.
