VenuIQ is a UK-based technology company specializing in event management software, offering a comprehensive platform for managing live, virtual, and hybrid events. Their award-winning Event Builder platform enables event organizers to create branded event apps and portals tailored to diverse event needs, including attendee tracking, registration, and engagement features. The company targets professional event planners, conferences, and exhibitions, positioning itself as a trusted provider with a strong client base and industry recognition. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and integrations such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Forminator forms. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance. Security measures include HTTPS, reCAPTCHA on forms, and domain status locks, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or incident response policies are published.

Overall, VenuIQ presents a professional, trustworthy online presence with a mature technical infrastructure and a good security baseline.

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 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';…

  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

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

VenuIQ operates in the event technology sector, providing SaaS solutions for event management. Their business model focuses on B2B clients such as event organizers and venues. The company leverages award-winning technology and a comprehensive feature set to differentiate itself in a competitive market. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, custom app development, and event-specific services. The presence of notable clients and case studies indicates a solid market position. Partnerships include integrations with major video conferencing platforms and event tech providers. Growth indicators include recent awards and active content marketing. The company maintains a professional brand with consistent messaging and trust signals such as testimonials and guarantees.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and domain status locks to prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces domain-level security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which is a compliance and transparency gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is important for GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing security documentation, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with a well-maintained theme (GeneratePress) and plugins such as Yoast SEO, Forminator, and Getwid blocks. It uses Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and marketing. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and uses HTTPS throughout. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The mobile experience is good, and SEO metadata is well implemented including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical infrastructure is stable and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
