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

Thinking in Billions is a specialized event focused on fostering innovation through government-led regulatory sandboxes and legal experimentation frameworks. The event is closely tied to Estonian government entities and Latitude59, positioning it as a niche but credible platform for collaboration between public and private sectors in technology and defense innovation. The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor, with integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. While the site is professionally designed and mobile-optimized, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but security headers and incident response information are missing. Overall, the site is legitimate and consistent with its stated purpose but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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 event targets governments, innovators, investors, and research institutions interested in regulatory innovation and resilience. It leverages partnerships with government ministries and innovation accelerators, enhancing its credibility and reach. The business model centers on event organization and knowledge sharing, with revenue likely from sponsorships and registrations. The website's external links and partner domains confirm a strong ecosystem connection. However, the absence of detailed company registration or VAT information limits deeper business profiling. The site’s content and structure support a professional image, but the lack of comprehensive privacy and security policies could hinder trust among privacy-conscious stakeholders.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern libraries without known vulnerabilities. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms also poses GDPR compliance risks. No sensitive data exposure or insecure forms were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and adding cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure guidelines or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct an accessibility audit to improve inclusiveness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, jQuery, and Swiper.js for UI components. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses a CDN for scripts. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile responsive. However, no hosting provider information was found in the HTML content. The technical stack is modern and widely supported but could benefit from optimization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
