Risk levelLow

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

Rheinische Post Events operates as a regional event ticketing platform affiliated with the Rheinische Post media group, focusing on event promotion and ticket sales primarily in Germany. The website offers a professional and user-friendly interface for purchasing tickets to events such as the Halloween Party 2025 in Düsseldorf. The platform leverages modern web technologies including Vue.js and Vuetify, integrating third-party services like Google Maps and Mapbox for enhanced user experience. Consent management and GDPR compliance are well implemented, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and user data protection. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about registration transparency, although the website's branding and technical setup suggest legitimate business operations. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but security headers could be improved. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional front for event ticketing with room for enhanced security practices and WHOIS transparency.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

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 is positioned as a medium-sized player in the media and event ticketing sector, leveraging the strong brand of Rheinische Post and the technical infrastructure of Eventim. Its business model centers on ticket sales and event promotion, targeting general consumers interested in cultural and entertainment events in Germany. The platform benefits from partnerships with established payment providers and consent management services, indicating a robust ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding event offerings and enhancing digital marketing efforts. The company maintains clear contact channels and legal compliance, supporting customer trust and operational reliability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS, consent management for cookies, and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML source. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, representing an area for improvement. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing vulnerability assessments to mitigate risks. The lack of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented security frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or use WHOIS privacy protection justified by business needs to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript stack using Vue.js and Vuetify for UI components, ensuring responsive and interactive user experience. Integration with Google Maps and Mapbox APIs enriches event location features. Hosting appears to leverage Akamai CDN for performance and reliability. ConsentManager is used for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site loads multiple asynchronously loaded scripts, balancing functionality and performance. SEO and meta tags are well implemented, supporting discoverability. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform.
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.
