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

11 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company operates in the event and exhibition sector, providing venue and organizational services for a wide range of trade fairs and congresses. Its competitive advantage lies in its scale and leadership in Central Europe, hosting over 120 B2B fairs annually with significant visitor and exhibitor numbers. The business model likely includes venue rental, event management fees, and associated services. The multilingual website supports international reach. The company maintains active social media channels and uses SEO and analytics tools to enhance market visibility. No direct contact details were found, suggesting contact may be handled via dedicated pages or forms not included in the provided content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager with default deny consent settings, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Cookie consent is managed by Usercentrics, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected, which is a compliance gap. Security headers were not identified in the provided data, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The site does not appear to expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by publishing clear policies, adding security headers, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for incident response and security concerns, including abuse or security email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.8.2 with a modern theme and plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. It uses jQuery 3.6.0 and Slick Slider for interactive content presentation. Google Tag Manager and Hotjar scripts are integrated for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is hosted or registered via home.pl S.A., a Polish hosting and registrar provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are used for UI enhancements. There is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy and security documentation.
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.
