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

The International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) operates a professional membership and certification platform focused on accessibility education and resources. The website is built on Salesforce Experience Cloud, leveraging modern web technologies such as Lightning Web Components and Salesforce CMS. The platform offers a comprehensive range of services including certification programs, educational content, events, and community engagement for accessibility professionals globally. Technically, the site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and excellent accessibility features, aligning well with its mission. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and strict Content-Security-Policy headers, though improvements can be made in cookie consent and incident response transparency. Overall, the domain appears legitimate despite lack of public WHOIS data, likely due to privacy protection. The site integrates trusted payment processors and analytics tools, supporting a professional and trustworthy user experience.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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 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

IAAP positions itself as a leading non-profit organization in the accessibility certification and education sector. Its business model revolves around membership fees, certification programs, and educational offerings. The target audience includes accessibility professionals, organizations, and stakeholders seeking to improve digital accessibility compliance and skills. The organization benefits from partnerships with major payment processors and uses Salesforce as its digital platform, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The presence of multiple certification programs and extensive resource pages suggests a diversified revenue stream and strong market presence in the accessibility domain.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a robust Content-Security-Policy restricting resource loading to trusted domains, enhancing protection against XSS and related attacks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent compliance and transparency gaps. Security headers beyond CSP were not explicitly identified, suggesting room for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from improved privacy compliance and incident management disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear and accessible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and security readiness.
  3. Add additional security headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Consider providing public WHOIS information or verified domain ownership details to improve trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Salesforce Experience Cloud platform using Lightning Web Components and Salesforce CMS, ensuring a scalable and maintainable infrastructure. The use of Salesforce Lightning Design System provides consistent UI styling and accessibility compliance. Performance is moderate with multiple external resource dependencies, but caching and CDN usage are evident. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and enhanced accessibility features such as focus outlines and semantic markup. Technical debt appears low, though the complexity of Salesforce-based routing and component loading may require specialized maintenance expertise. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and enhance privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
