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

TicketWave.mt is a Malta-based ticketing platform that facilitates event discovery and ticket sales for both event organizers and attendees. The platform offers a user-friendly interface with a dedicated organizer portal to manage ticket sales. The website is built using modern technologies such as Angular and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. While the site demonstrates good design quality and mobile optimization, it lacks some privacy compliance features such as a cookie consent mechanism and explicit contact information. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing a security policy. Overall, the platform appears legitimate and well-positioned in its local market segment.

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. 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 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

  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 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

TicketWave operates as a platform-based business model focusing on ticket sales and event promotion within Malta. Its target customers include event organizers seeking to sell tickets and attendees looking for events. The company maintains a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, enhancing its marketing reach. The absence of detailed business registration data on the site limits deeper insights, but WHOIS data confirms consistency with the business claims. The organizer portal domain indicates a structured ecosystem supporting event management. Growth opportunities include expanding privacy compliance and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from automated abuse, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 14.3.0, leveraging modern frontend frameworks and Font Awesome 6 for icons. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot mitigation. The site appears to be a single-page application with client-side routing. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and optimized font delivery. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the content. SEO optimization is basic, with standard meta tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy consent mechanisms.
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.
