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

2 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

  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

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

RX Global operates as a major player in the global events industry, leveraging a broad portfolio of sector-specific events and a wide geographic reach. Their business model centers on event management and business-building services, supported by a dedicated international sales group and technology offerings. The company benefits from strong brand consistency and trust signals such as legal compliance documents and social media engagement. Their extensive subsidiary network supports localized market penetration. Growth indicators include sustainability initiatives and inclusion programs, reflecting modern corporate responsibility trends.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place. Cookie consent is actively managed via OneTrust, indicating privacy awareness. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security processes.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with Bootstrap 4 and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel and YouTube iframe API. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and tracking, integrated with a OneTrust cookie consent mechanism. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed and resource optimization. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is managed by a reputable registrar. The technical stack supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise-level event organizer.
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.
