run.events GmbH operates a sophisticated AI-powered event management platform designed to streamline the entire event lifecycle from planning to post-event analytics. The company targets event organizers, agencies, venues, and associations, offering a comprehensive SaaS solution that integrates planning, marketing automation, ticketing, delivery, and analytics. Their market position emphasizes cost savings, enhanced security, and automation, positioning them as a modern alternative to traditional event management tools.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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

  • 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention run.events, from OffSeq Breach.

Breach holds no records for run.events right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company is a small-sized German technology firm founded in 2021, focusing on event management SaaS solutions enhanced by AI. Their business model combines software licensing with professional event services and white-labeled mobile apps. They maintain a strong partnership ecosystem including community portals and speaker directories. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating multiple event management phases into a single platform with AI-driven insights and automation, targeting professional event planners and agencies. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as testimonials and compliance documentation.

Security posture

run.events demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. The presence of a dedicated security and compliance page indicates awareness of security best practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended HTTP security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information to improve security communication.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Astro and React, hosted on Azure infrastructure with static assets served via Amazon S3. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Microsoft Clarity, enabling comprehensive user behavior tracking and marketing automation. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML, responsive design, and optimized performance. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. The technical setup supports scalability and maintainability but could benefit from enhanced security headers and DNSSEC implementation.
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.
