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

SWG Events Limited is a small UK-based company specializing in technical production services for a diverse range of events. Their key offerings include audio, lighting, video, staging, rigging, and production management, positioning them as a leading service provider in their niche market. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity with good mobile optimization and basic SEO features. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as security headers, indicates room for improvement in compliance and security posture. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for small businesses but limits domain trust verification. Overall, the website presents a credible business front with clear contact information but lacks comprehensive privacy and security disclosures.

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 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 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

      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

SWG Events operates in the event technical production sector, targeting event organizers and production managers. Their business model focuses on providing specialized technical services essential for event execution. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and offers a clear description of its services, which supports its market positioning as a leading provider. The lack of visible partnerships or subsidiaries suggests a focused operational scope. The website's content quality and professional presentation support business credibility, though the absence of detailed compliance documentation may affect trust with privacy-conscious clients.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing immediate risk of input-based vulnerabilities. The use of third-party scripts like Sentry for error monitoring is a positive security practice. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, which is typical for privacy-protected domains but limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance website security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing modern JavaScript polyfills and error monitoring via Sentry. The technical stack is standard for Wix sites, with no custom frameworks detected. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and basic SEO metadata present. The site lacks advanced technical SEO and accessibility features but maintains a professional design and user experience. Hosting is managed by Wix, which provides reliable infrastructure but limits direct control over server-level security configurations. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO, accessibility, and security header implementation to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
