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 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

  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

Sticky Tickets targets event organisers and attendees in Australia, offering a platform to create, promote, and sell tickets for various event types including fundraisers, community events, and reunions. The business model is based on online ticket sales commissions and service fees. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with a clear focus on the Australian market. Partnerships such as with Secure My Refund indicate an ecosystem approach to event and ticketing services. The presence of mobile apps and multiple rebate programs for charities and community groups suggests strategic efforts to expand user engagement and market penetration. The company’s branding is consistent and professional, supporting trust and customer retention.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms for data collection, which is critical for protecting user information during ticket purchases. Multiple third-party scripts are used for analytics and marketing, which requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. The absence of explicit security headers like CSP and HSTS is a gap that should be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published incident response or security policy page limits transparency but does not indicate immediate risk. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against 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 dependencies to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Slick Slider, and Swiper for UI components. HubSpot scripts provide marketing automation and analytics integration, complemented by Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and Hotjar for user behavior tracking. The site is hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN, which supports scalability and performance. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes mobile app links for iOS and Android. Accessibility is basic but present. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform.
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.
