Stova is a technology company specializing in event management software designed to streamline planning and execution of virtual, in-person, and hybrid events. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including registration, onsite check-in, event marketing, attendee engagement, and analytics. Positioned as a modern SaaS solution, Stova targets event planners and corporate marketing teams seeking flexible and scalable event management tools. The company appears to be relatively new, founded in 2022, with a medium-sized operational footprint and a US-based presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with integrations of HubSpot for marketing automation, Google Analytics for visitor tracking, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and uses modern web technologies such as jQuery and Beaver Builder. Hosting is likely on AWS infrastructure, inferred from DNS records. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs domain locking via EPP status flags, and uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, Stova presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. The absence of terms of service and security policy pages are minor gaps. The domain registration uses privacy protection appropriately, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with content access. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing accessibility to further strengthen the website's security posture and user 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

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Stova operates in the competitive event management software market, focusing on delivering a unified platform for diverse event formats. Its business model is B2B SaaS, generating revenue through software subscriptions and managed services. The company targets mid to large enterprises and event professionals, leveraging partnerships and integrations with industry platforms like EventsCloud. The presence of detailed use cases and industry-specific solutions indicates a strategic approach to market segmentation. The company’s digital marketing ecosystem is robust, utilizing HubSpot and Google tools to drive lead generation and customer engagement. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain locking status flags preventing unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. Cookie consent management is comprehensive and GDPR-aligned, with clear categorization of cookies and user controls. Use of Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from automated abuse. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation is a security gap that could expose DNS spoofing risks. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency for security inquiries. No evidence of vulnerabilities, malware, or exposed credentials was found. Overall, the site balances usability and security well but would benefit from formalizing security governance documentation and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  3. Add an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) for reporting security issues.
  4. Create and publish terms of service to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  5. Improve website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform enhanced with Beaver Builder for layout and Max Mega Menu for navigation. It integrates HubSpot for marketing automation and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, providing granular user controls. The site uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements. Hosting is inferred to be on AWS based on DNS servers. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Technical debt appears low, but accessibility could be improved. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) extensively for SEO and social media integration, indicating a modern digital maturity level.
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.
