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

WeAreDevelopers GmbH operates a leading global technology event platform focused on developers, AI innovators, and tech leaders. Their flagship event, the WeAreDevelopers World Congress, scheduled for July 2026 in Berlin, Germany, attracts thousands of developers, companies, and decision-makers. The website provides comprehensive information about the event, including agenda topics, speakers, ticketing, and partnerships, positioning the company as a key player in the tech conference market. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, HubSpot for forms and marketing automation, and Tito for ticketing, ensuring a seamless user experience with fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, cookie consent management, and GDPR-compliant forms, although explicit security headers and a public security policy are absent. The WHOIS data is unavailable, indicating possible privacy protection or recent domain registration, which slightly impacts trust but is mitigated by the professional presentation and external references. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance.

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

2 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company targets a global developer audience and tech industry professionals, leveraging high-profile speakers and industry partnerships to maintain a competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, sponsorships, and partnerships. The event's scale and attendee ratings indicate strong market positioning. The use of HubSpot and Tito reflects a sophisticated marketing and sales funnel. The company fosters community building and innovation sharing, which supports growth and brand loyalty. Strategic partnerships with platforms like Sessionize and Eventible enhance event management capabilities. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations. HubSpot forms include explicit GDPR consent checkboxes, enhancing data protection. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add security HTTP headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security contact email to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Consider publishing more detailed business contact information to improve trust and facilitate communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack with Webflow CMS for content management, HubSpot for marketing automation and forms, and Tito for ticketing integration. It uses Google Fonts and several JavaScript libraries for enhanced UI/UX. The site is mobile-optimized and performs well with fast loading times. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is addressed with focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML. The use of external CDNs and third-party services is well managed, though reliance on multiple external scripts could introduce risk if not monitored. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports the business goals 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.
