Risk levelMedium

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

VeeCon is a medium-sized, innovative conference-meets-festival event founded by Gary Vaynerchuk, focusing on business, marketing, technology, innovation, and pop culture. It leverages NFT technology for ticketing and attracts a global community of ambitious professionals. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides rich content about the event, speakers, and schedules. Technically, it uses modern JavaScript modules and Blazor WebAssembly, with good performance and SEO practices. Security posture is decent with HTTPS and domain protection, but lacks DNSSEC and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and terms hosted on a related domain but no cookie consent mechanism on the main site. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche, though improvements in security transparency and privacy compliance are recommended.

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

4 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 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

  2. 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

    • 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

  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

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

VeeCon operates in the technology and media sectors as an event organizer with a unique NFT-gated ticketing model. It targets professionals interested in innovation and marketing, leveraging high-profile speakers and media coverage to maintain a strong market position. The business model includes ticket sales, community engagement, and brand partnerships. Growth indicators include expanding event years and increasing speaker lineups. The ecosystem includes related domains like veefriends.com, which hosts privacy and terms policies. The company maintains a consistent brand and active social media presence, enhancing its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces resilience against DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which may hinder transparency and incident management. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism suggests partial GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced domain security, security headers, and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript ES modules, Typekit fonts, and Blazor WebAssembly framework, indicating a contemporary approach to web development. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Hosting appears stable with GoDaddy as registrar. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based site. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
