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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

The agency occupies a key position in the regional innovation ecosystem, targeting startups and SMEs as primary customers. Its business model revolves around providing services, infrastructure, and networking opportunities to foster innovation and economic growth. The presence of multiple partner logos and references to regional government departments underscores strong institutional backing. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a focus on technology and regional development. The agency leverages partnerships and events such as Scouting Days to enhance its ecosystem. The clear presentation of contact information and social media links supports active engagement with stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of Iubenda for cookie consent ensures GDPR compliance and user privacy. No security policy or incident response pages were found, which could be an area for improvement. There is no evidence of exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or insecure forms. The integration of Google Tag Manager is managed with consent callbacks, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from explicit security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Create and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Include Data Protection Officer contact information to comply with GDPR best practices.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience.

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, with integration of Font Awesome for icons and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site uses Iubenda for cookie and privacy management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social media sharing. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and screen reader text are present. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading times. No hosting provider details were detected from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid 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.
