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

Only Stage is a UK-based arts management and production company specializing in representing artists, organizing tours, and producing shows, recordings, documentaries, and competitions. The company also offers consulting and communication services within the performing arts sector. Their website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence, targeting performing arts professionals and cultural institutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem, including event calendars and portfolio management tools, and integrates Iubenda for privacy and cookie compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. Overall, the website is well-structured, accessible, and compliant with GDPR, reflecting a mature digital presence. The WHOIS lookup failed due to querying an invalid subdomain, but the domain itself appears legitimate and established. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and enhancing accessibility.

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

5 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 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';…
  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

Only Stage operates in the niche performing arts management and production market, focusing on classical and contemporary artists and productions. Their business model revolves around artist representation, event organization, and consulting, serving a specialized audience of artists, event organizers, and cultural institutions. The company maintains partnerships, notably with OnlyMaestros, enhancing their ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a strong emphasis on quality and professionalism. Growth indicators include active news updates and diverse service offerings. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and privacy compliance but could improve transparency around security and incident response.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of reputable plugins and cookie consent mechanisms further supports compliance and user privacy. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the site content or scripts. The WHOIS failure is due to a domain query error rather than a security concern. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a comprehensive set of plugins including Modern Events Calendar Lite, Portfolio Designer, WPBakery Page Builder, and Essential Grid, indicating a mature and feature-rich infrastructure. The site uses jQuery and integrates Google Fonts and Iubenda for privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern but relies on multiple plugins which require regular maintenance to avoid technical debt. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and security headers, supporting a secure user experience. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and streamline plugin usage for better performance and security.
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.
