Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 organization operates in the education and non-profit sectors, providing intercultural exchange and volunteer programs. Its business model relies on program fees, scholarships, and volunteer engagement. The website's content and structure indicate a strong focus on accessibility and user engagement, with clear calls to action for applications and volunteering. The presence of multiple social media channels and detailed policies suggests a mature marketing and compliance approach. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to privacy protection. The organization appears well-positioned in its niche with a medium-sized operational scale and a strong brand identity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security hygiene with HTTPS, Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and a cookie consent banner supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not clearly identified and should be verified. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. The integration of multiple tracking and marketing tools is balanced with privacy controls, reflecting a responsible approach to user data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify risks.
  5. Enhance CSP (Content Security Policy) to further protect against cross-site scripting and related attacks.

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.
