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

Snobs Nightclub Birmingham is a well-established nightlife venue offering a variety of events including live music, sports viewing, and themed parties. The website presents a professional and engaging platform targeting local and visiting clubbers and nightlife enthusiasts. The business operates primarily in the hospitality sector with a medium-sized presence and a focus on event-driven revenue. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools integrated, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable and indicates registration issues, which lowers trust from a domain legitimacy perspective. Overall, the site is functional and credible but would benefit from improved security practices and clearer domain registration 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

5 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. 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

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 nightclub holds a strong position in the Birmingham nightlife market, leveraging event hosting and ticket sales as primary revenue streams. Its partnership with Fatsoma for event management and ticketing indicates a strategic alliance enhancing operational efficiency. The target audience includes young adults and nightlife patrons, with marketing efforts focused on social media channels. The business model is event-centric with additional services such as food and venue booking. Growth potential exists through expanded event offerings and enhanced digital presence. However, the lack of visible certifications or formal security policies suggests room for maturity in compliance and trust-building measures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. Tracking technologies such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used, indicating moderate user tracking. Absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies highlight gaps in security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of incident response contacts and security framework references suggests limited preparedness for security incidents. Enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process would strengthen the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Improve WHOIS domain registration transparency or clarify domain registration status to enhance trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Hosting appears to leverage Fatsoma's infrastructure for event management and media delivery. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were identified. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and implement modern web security standards to reduce risk exposure.
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.
