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.

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

NürnbergMesse operates in a competitive global market for exhibition and event services, leveraging a broad international network and a portfolio of approximately 120 events worldwide. Their competitive advantage lies in their scale, sustainability focus, and comprehensive service offerings. The company targets industry professionals, exhibitors, and visitors seeking specialized trade fairs. Revenue streams are primarily from event hosting, exhibitor fees, and related services. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem and a clear strategic focus on sustainability and digital transformation. Growth indicators include expansion of digital events and sustainability initiatives. The website content and structure support these business goals effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could enhance trust and preparedness. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected on the homepage. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Add and configure security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced and maintain up-to-date dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js (React framework) and Sitecore Experience Accelerator CMS, hosted on Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure. The use of Algolia Autocomplete indicates advanced search capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and fonts, and performance appears fast based on resource loading patterns. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is robust and supports scalability and maintainability. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
