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

Space Tech Expo Europe is a leading B2B event organizer specializing in the space technology sector, hosting Europe's largest space industry exhibition and conference. The event connects over 950 exhibitors and 10,000 attendees, providing a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and business development. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and consent management solutions. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and Content Security Policy headers, though additional headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which contrasts with the professional and trustworthy nature of the website content and its association with Informa Markets. Overall, the site demonstrates strong business credibility and technical maturity but should address domain registration transparency to improve trust.

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

7 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. 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 company operates in the technology sector, focusing on space technology events. It holds a strong market position as Europe's largest B2B space event, backed by Informa Markets, a reputable global event organizer. The business model centers on exhibition and conference hosting, supplemented by B2B matchmaking and industry insights. The target audience includes space industry professionals, engineers, and innovators. The website indicates a large-scale operation with a decade-long history in Bremen, Germany. Partnerships with sister shows and related expos enhance its ecosystem. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics effectively to engage its audience and drive registrations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and a Content Security Policy header, indicating a good baseline security posture. It integrates consent management tools to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks some recommended security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security, which could mitigate clickjacking and enforce HTTPS more strictly. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance security transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and build trust with visitors.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and AOS for animations. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Transcend Consent Manager for analytics and privacy compliance. The site loads multimedia content such as videos and images efficiently with lazy loading techniques. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the event. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content.
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.
