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

3 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

AIESEC's market position as the largest youth-led organization globally is reinforced by its extensive network of partner organizations and premium partners. Its business model focuses on non-profit leadership development programs, targeting young people worldwide. The organization benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem and a clear value proposition centered on practical leadership experiences. The website content and structure support its mission effectively, with clear calls to action for membership and program participation. Growth indicators include a large number of experiences offered annually and a broad geographic footprint. The presence of testimonials and UN affiliations further enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. However, there is no explicit mention or publication of security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure programs. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. The use of modern frameworks and absence of known vulnerable libraries in the HTML suggest good development practices. Privacy compliance is strong, with GDPR indicators and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance communication about data protection officers and compliance measures to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, supported by Ant Design for UI components and Font Awesome for icons. This ensures a responsive, fast-loading, and accessible user experience across devices. The site uses CDN-hosted assets and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user behavior tracking. No standard CMS is detected, indicating a custom or proprietary content management approach. The technical implementation is robust with good SEO practices and mobile optimization. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and to provide more detailed technical documentation or transparency regarding hosting and infrastructure.
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.
