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

Pollutec is an internationally recognized trade show and conference organizer specializing in environmental and energy solutions for industry, cities, and territories. The website serves as a professional platform to promote the event, provide information on exhibitors, sessions, and networking opportunities. The site is well-structured, uses modern web technologies including React and Adobe Experience Manager, and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Adobe Helix RUM. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and OAuth2 PKCE authentication, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and terms policies. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the association with Reed Exhibitions supports legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, targeted at industry professionals, and provides a good user experience.

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

4 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 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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  4. 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

Pollutec operates in the environmental and energy sectors, positioning itself as a key international event for sustainable development and green technologies. Its business model revolves around event organization, exhibitor services, and industry networking. The parent company, Reed Exhibitions, is a global event organizer, enhancing Pollutec's market credibility. The website targets professionals in industry, urban planning, and environmental management. The lack of direct contact information on the site suggests a focus on event registration and information dissemination rather than direct sales. Marketing and analytics tools indicate active audience engagement and data-driven strategies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses OAuth2 PKCE for secure authentication flows. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, which limits transparency for security researchers. The missing WHOIS data is a potential red flag but may be due to privacy protection or registration under a different domain. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Investigate and clarify domain WHOIS registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with React frontend components, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and APIs such as YouTube iframe API and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and font preloading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and media queries. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data describing the event. Hosting appears to be managed by Reed Exhibitions infrastructure. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete WHOIS data which could impact trust and security posture.
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.
