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

The website represents Akabo Media Ltd's Road User Charging Conference Middle East & Africa, a specialized event focused on advancing user-funded transportation through PPPs and modern tolling innovations. The business targets policymakers, investors, and industry leaders in the MEA region, positioning itself as a leading independent forum in this niche. The site is well-structured with comprehensive event information, speaker profiles, and registration options, reflecting a professional and focused business model. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Maps API, FontAwesome, and the Evessio event management platform. Hosting is primarily on Amazon S3 for static assets, with a proprietary CMS. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is adequately addressed through meta tags and structured Open Graph data. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens present, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is basic; a privacy policy and terms of service exist, but cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR compliance indicators are limited. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is a credible, professional platform for event promotion in the transportation sector with room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. The domain registration data aligns well with the business timeline, supporting legitimacy.

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

8 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 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

    • 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

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

Akabo Media Ltd operates in the transportation and media sectors, focusing on event organization for road user charging and tolling in the Middle East and Africa. The company leverages partnerships and sponsorships to generate revenue and targets a specialized audience of government officials, investors, and industry experts. The business model centers on delivering high-value conferences that facilitate networking, knowledge sharing, and project advancement. Growth indicators include expanding speaker opportunities and partnership engagements. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as testimonials and clear contact details.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection implemented. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes potential risks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Privacy compliance is limited, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and detailed GDPR adherence information. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an event site but would benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Evessio event management platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and APIs such as Google Analytics and Google Maps. Static assets are hosted on Amazon S3, ensuring reliable content delivery. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet wider standards. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize user experience. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could be enhanced with additional security and privacy features.
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.
