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

Tickaroo is a medium-sized company founded in 2011, specializing in live blogging software that enables real-time coverage of news, sports, and events. Their platform targets journalists, media houses, and event organizers, offering tools for audience engagement and monetization. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and trusted by major media clients, reflecting a strong market position in the media technology sector. Technically, the website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and HubSpot Analytics. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with a legitimate business, with Amazon Registrar as the domain registrar and AWS DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements standard security headers, and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and contact information are not found in the provided HTML content, representing areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or WAF blocking were detected, indicating a solid security posture. Overall, Tickaroo presents a credible and professional online presence with minor gaps in privacy documentation and contact transparency. Strategic enhancements in these areas would further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  2. 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

Tickaroo operates in the media and technology sectors, providing SaaS live blogging solutions to a global audience of journalists and media organizations. Their business model focuses on software subscriptions with demo and free trial options. The company benefits from strong partnerships and client testimonials from reputable media brands, enhancing its competitive advantage. The website's content and design reflect a mature digital marketing strategy, leveraging HubSpot's ecosystem for lead generation and customer engagement. Growth indicators include mobile app availability and diverse industry solutions. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests a potential area for operational transparency improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. The presence of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner and use of Google Consent Mode indicate awareness of privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the site's transparency and readiness for security incidents. Enhancing these areas would improve compliance with standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST frameworks and bolster stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit contact information including email and phone for general and security inquiries.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan details.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Tag Manager and HubSpot Analytics for marketing and tracking purposes. Hosting infrastructure is supported by Amazon Registrar and AWS DNS services, indicating reliable backend support. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features.

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.
