Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

The Retail Technology Show website serves as a premier platform connecting retail industry professionals with technology innovators across Europe. The event is positioned as a leading annual exhibition and conference held at ExCeL London, targeting senior retail professionals and tech suppliers. The site offers comprehensive event information, exhibitor details, conference agendas, and networking opportunities, supported by a strong digital presence and integration with major social media and marketing platforms. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, analytics tools, and a professional event CMS, delivering a responsive and engaging user experience. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, impacting overall trustworthiness despite the professional presentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, publishing contact and incident response details, and resolving domain registration inconsistencies to bolster credibility.

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 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

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

The Retail Technology Show operates in the retail and technology sectors as an event organizer facilitating innovation and networking. Its market position as a premier European retail tech event is supported by a medium-sized organizational structure under the Nineteen Group umbrella. The business model revolves around exhibition space sales, conference programming, and community building among retailers and tech suppliers. The website reflects a mature digital marketing strategy with extensive use of analytics and social media channels. However, the lack of visible direct contact information and missing WHOIS data suggest potential operational or administrative gaps. The event's ecosystem includes partnerships and associations, but no subsidiary domains or suspicious links were identified. Overall, the company demonstrates strong market engagement but should address transparency and domain legitimacy to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and use of reputable analytics and marketing scripts loaded asynchronously to reduce risk. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The lack of explicit incident response contacts or security policies further weakens preparedness and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. To improve, the organization should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security policies, and provide clear incident response channels. Addressing the domain WHOIS inconsistency is critical to avoid reputational risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and update domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data accuracy and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by adding verified company emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including jQuery, Alpine.js, GSAP, and integrates with HubSpot and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics. The CMS platform is SHOWOFF by ASP.events, specialized for event management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses asynchronous script loading to improve performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility features appear adequate but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional event website but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
