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

Space Tech Expo USA is a leading B2B exhibition and conference platform focused on the space technology sector, organized by Informa Markets. The website promotes the 2026 event at the Anaheim Convention Center, targeting industry professionals, exhibitors, and attendees. It offers services including exhibition space booking, conference agendas, B2B matchmaking, and live pitching competitions. The site is well-branded, content-rich, and professionally maintained, reflecting a strong market position in the space technology event industry. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. It integrates consent management tools for GDPR compliance and uses multiple tracking and marketing tools responsibly. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible security vulnerabilities, though security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including secure forms and privacy compliance, but lacks publicly available security policies or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS registration data is notable but likely due to privacy or registry issues rather than malicious intent, given the professional nature and trust signals of the site. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain compliance and security posture.

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

6 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 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

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

Space Tech Expo USA operates as a major B2B event organizer within the space technology sector, leveraging Informa Markets' global event management expertise. Its business model centers on trade show exhibitions, conferences, and networking platforms that facilitate industry connections and business development. The company targets aerospace manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, and technology innovators. The event's growth and relocation to a larger venue indicate positive market demand and expansion. The ecosystem includes sister shows and partner events, enhancing cross-market reach. Revenue streams likely include exhibitor fees, sponsorships, and conference registrations. The company maintains a strong digital presence and uses data-driven marketing tools to optimize attendee engagement and lead generation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of GDPR-compliant consent management. Tracking and marketing scripts are used with user consent mechanisms in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the site balances usability and security well but should address these gaps to strengthen defense-in-depth and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive 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 page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and document data retention and privacy compliance policies aligned with GDPR and other regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Bootstrap 5, jQuery 3.6, and AOS for animations, ensuring responsive design and interactive UI elements. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are employed for analytics, complemented by Transcend Consent Manager for privacy compliance. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs, contributing to moderate performance. The presence of lazy loading scripts improves load times. However, no CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for event information, enhancing search engine visibility. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers for a more robust technical posture.
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.
