Risk levelMedium

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

ROOM#42 is a cybersecurity simulation service operated by the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity, offering immersive cyberattack crisis training sessions primarily targeting professionals across various sectors including finance, IT, legal, and management. The service is recognized locally and internationally, with a subsidiary presence in Toulouse. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and testimonials from credible industry figures. Technically, the site uses modern front-end libraries such as Materialize CSS and jQuery, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage but lacks advanced security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration and DNS setup are consistent with a legitimate business entity.

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.

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 business operates in the cybersecurity training niche, leveraging simulation-based learning to enhance organizational resilience against cyber crises. Its market positioning is strong within Luxembourg and expanding internationally. The business model focuses on experiential training sessions for diverse professional audiences, generating revenue through bookings and registrations. Partnerships with local cybersecurity institutions strengthen its ecosystem. Growth indicators include the establishment of a subsidiary in Toulouse and endorsements from industry professionals. The company maintains a focused and professional online presence, though it could improve transparency around privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, limiting transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no privacy or cookie policies and no consent mechanisms, posing potential GDPR compliance risks. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts reduces privacy concerns but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with policy publication and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy including GDPR compliance details and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider integrating privacy-respecting analytics to balance user insights with privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack including jQuery, Materialize CSS framework, Rellax.js for parallax effects, and Flexslider for carousel functionality. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design meta tags ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. SEO is basic with meta description present but no Open Graph or structured data detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy policy which could impact compliance and security posture.
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.
