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

Quicket is a well-established online event ticketing platform serving the African market, providing event organizers and attendees with a comprehensive suite of tools for event creation, ticket sales, and management. The platform supports a wide range of event types from large festivals to boutique events, boasting a user base of over 200,000 events. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Angular, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and OneTrust for cookie consent, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and rich content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, but the website content and technical setup suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site scores well on content quality and business credibility but should enhance privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Quicket operates in the technology sector as an online ticketing service targeting event organizers and attendees across Africa. Its business model centers on facilitating event ticket sales and management through a digital platform, generating revenue likely from ticket fees and event services. The company maintains regional domains indicating a broad geographic presence. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its feature-rich offering, including reserved seating, ticket scanning, real-time analytics, and marketing tools. The use of advanced marketing automation and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement. However, the lack of visible legal and contact information on the site could be a barrier to trust for some users. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified, but related domains indicate a networked brand presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via OneTrust, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, limiting transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which may indicate privacy protection or domain registration issues, slightly reducing trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in security headers, policy publication, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  4. Create and host a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trustworthiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 19.2.14, leveraging modern front-end frameworks and libraries such as FontAwesome and Google Fonts for UI/UX. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Zoho Marketing Automation, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site uses Swiper.js for carousel features and Algolia for search autocomplete, indicating a focus on performance and user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and shows good SEO practices with meta tags and canonical links. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized assets. Accessibility is basic but present. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and legal document integration are recommended to reduce operational risks.
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.
