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

Richmond Events Switzerland is a small, specialized event organizer focusing on strategic business forums held at prestigious venues in Switzerland. Their services cater primarily to C-level executives and management professionals across sectors such as finance, healthcare, marketing, and IT. The company positions itself as a niche player offering cost-effective and time-efficient networking and learning opportunities through its forums. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging technologies like Vue.js, Nuxt.js, and Storyblok CMS, ensuring a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site employs HTTPS and standard security headers, with a cookie consent mechanism in place, but lacks explicit privacy policies and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-structured, though enhancing compliance documentation and direct contact details would strengthen its credibility and security posture.

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

6 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Richmond Events operates in the event management sector with a focus on strategic business forums in Switzerland. Their business model revolves around organizing industry-specific conferences and networking events targeting senior professionals. The company leverages social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to engage its audience and promote events. While the website does not disclose detailed financial or operational data, the professional design and targeted content suggest a focused market approach. The absence of privacy and terms documentation may indicate a need for maturity in compliance practices. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain analysis. The company appears to maintain a lean structure with a clear niche market focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with privacy best practices. However, the lack of a published privacy policy, terms of service, vulnerability disclosure policy, and incident response contacts represents compliance and security gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not appear to use any known vulnerable libraries. Security recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel, and improving accessibility features to enhance overall security and compliance maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase transparency by providing more detailed business information and direct contact details on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js and Nuxt.js frameworks, styled with Tailwind CSS, and managed via the Storyblok CMS. The use of preloading scripts and fonts indicates performance optimization efforts. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found. Performance is moderate, with video content and image assets optimized for quality and loading. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and compliance-related technical implementations.
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.
