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

Roundhouse is a well-established and iconic music and arts venue located in Camden, United Kingdom, with a history dating back to the 1960s. The organization focuses on providing a creative space that empowers communities through music, arts, and cultural events. Their market position is strong within the cultural and entertainment sector, targeting a broad audience interested in arts and live performances. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by active social media channels and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, indicating a mature digital presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and integrates various third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Freshbots for chatbot functionality. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although some security headers could be improved. Performance is moderate, with a well-structured technical stack that supports the business model effectively. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules violation error from Nominet UK, which is unusual but does not appear to impact the legitimacy of the website itself. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests contact information may be located deeper within the site. Overall, the website presents a low risk with a solid security posture and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, auditing third-party scripts regularly, and improving transparency around contact and incident response information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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

  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';…

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

Roundhouse operates as a cultural and entertainment venue with a focus on music and arts events, serving a diverse audience in Camden and beyond. Its competitive advantage lies in its iconic status and long-standing history since the 1960s. The business model revolves around event hosting, community engagement, and ticket sales, supported by dedicated booking and action subdomains. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, venue hire, and sponsorships. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem through social media and third-party marketing platforms such as Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Growth indicators include active digital marketing and a comprehensive online presence. The organization appears to be medium-sized with a professional digital footprint and consistent branding.

Security posture

The security maturity of the Roundhouse website is good, with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools, which are managed through consent banners to mitigate privacy risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating an area for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and user trust but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact information for security and general inquiries.
  5. Develop a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using version 6.6.2, enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management, Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and Freshbots for chatbot support. The site uses SVG graphics for logos and icons, ensuring scalability and performance. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the presence of queue-it scripts suggests traffic management capabilities. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and hosting provider transparency could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for security enhancements.
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.
