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

The website rex.ua represents an exhibition platform focused on advertising, marketing, and mass media in Ukraine. It promotes events such as the REX exhibition and the concurrent T-REX exhibition, targeting professionals and businesses in the advertising and marketing sectors. The site content is primarily in Ukrainian with English language support available. The business model appears to be event organization and exhibition hosting, catering to industry participants and visitors interested in advertising technologies and services. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking, and Shadowbox.js for media display. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with proper meta and Open Graph tags. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and technical modernization. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and does not present privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No contact information or incident response channels are found, limiting transparency and responsiveness. The SSL configuration and hosting details are unknown, and no advanced security frameworks are indicated. These gaps suggest a basic security posture with significant opportunities for enhancement. Overall, the website is functional and professionally presented but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency to elevate trustworthiness and regulatory adherence. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, providing clear contact and incident response information, and conducting a security audit to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

Rex.ua operates as a niche exhibition organizer in the advertising and marketing industry within Ukraine. Its competitive advantage lies in hosting specialized events that combine advertising, marketing, mass media, and related technologies. The business targets industry professionals, marketers, advertisers, and media companies seeking exposure and networking opportunities. Revenue streams likely include exhibitor fees, sponsorships, and event-related services. The presence of English language support indicates an intent to attract international participants. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no parent or subsidiary companies are identified. Growth indicators are limited due to lack of detailed business data, but the consistent branding and event focus suggest a stable market position within its sector.

Security posture

The current security posture of rex.ua is basic and lacks several critical elements. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to common web vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The use of HTTPS is assumed but not confirmed from the data. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents. Tracking technologies like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used, which require proper privacy disclosures. Overall, the site demonstrates minimal security maturity and should prioritize implementing security best practices and compliance measures to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response channels.
  4. Conduct a thorough security audit to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency and trust by publishing terms of service and data protection officer details if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard web technologies with JavaScript libraries such as Shadowbox.js for media display and tracking tools including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The HTML and CSS appear valid and the site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO. However, there is no indication of a modern CMS or advanced frameworks, which may limit scalability and maintainability. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. Modernization opportunities include adopting a CMS, improving accessibility, and integrating security best practices.
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.
