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

Solar Promotion Group is a professional event organizer specializing in exhibitions and conferences within the renewable energy sector. Their portfolio includes globally recognized events such as Intersolar and The smarter E Digital platform, targeting industry professionals and stakeholders in energy, transport, and related fields. The website is well-structured, with clear navigation and relevant content showcasing their services and topics of interest. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, a consent management platform (Usercentrics), and bot protection (Friendly Captcha), indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the professional presentation and content support legitimacy. Overall, the website is safe, compliant with GDPR, and provides a trustworthy user experience.

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. 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';…

  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

  3. 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Solar Promotion Group holds a solid market position as an established organizer of renewable energy events worldwide. Their business model centers on connecting industry players through exhibitions, conferences, webinars, and awards. The company targets professionals in renewable energy, electric mobility, energy storage, and smart grids. Their partnership with The smarter E platform enhances their ecosystem and reach. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, likely via contact forms. The company demonstrates growth through diverse content offerings and digital engagement tools. However, the lack of WHOIS transparency could be a risk factor in trust and domain ownership verification.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable consent management platform, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The inclusion of Friendly Captcha helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder timely security incident management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider providing direct contact emails or verified phone numbers for improved business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including FontAwesome Pro icons, jQuery datetimepicker, and Usercentrics for consent management. The presence of Friendly Captcha indicates proactive bot mitigation. The CMS appears to be a custom or proprietary system (Jentis scripts). Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by canonical links and meta tags. However, accessibility could be improved with better ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Hosting appears to be managed via a private CDN or dedicated infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
