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. 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 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 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

Venuu.se holds a strong market position in Sweden's hospitality sector as a trusted platform for event venue bookings. Its business model revolves around connecting venue owners with event organizers, generating revenue likely through commissions or listing fees. The presence of major corporate clients like Telia, SAS, and Microsoft indicates strong B2B relationships and brand credibility. The company has maintained consistent branding and content quality since its founding in 2013. Its partnership with related domains in Finland and internationally suggests a strategic expansion approach. The platform's comprehensive venue listings and user-friendly search features provide competitive advantages in the event space marketplace.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS encryption, CSRF protection on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS indicate areas for enhancement. No direct incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics and advertising pixels is managed with user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from formalized security policies and improved DNS and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Ruby on Rails backend with a modern JavaScript frontend utilizing Foundation CSS framework. Hosting on AWS provides scalability and reliability. The site loads multiple external scripts for analytics and marketing, including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Segment Analytics, all integrated with user consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but present. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or bespoke platform. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve trust.
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.
