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. 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 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

EUSALP operates as a non-profit EU macro-regional strategy entity, targeting regional policymakers, youth, and the public interested in Alpine cooperation. Its business model revolves around policy coordination and stakeholder engagement rather than commercial activities. The website supports this by providing governance details, event information, and resources. Partnerships with other EU macro-regional strategies are evident, enhancing its collaborative ecosystem. The presence of multiple social media channels and regular news updates indicate active engagement and growth. The organization maintains a medium-sized digital presence consistent with its governmental role.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of explicit security headers like CSP or HSTS is a minor gap. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is common for governmental sites but could be improved for transparency. The use of Matomo analytics with default disallow status aligns with GDPR compliance. Overall, the site balances security and privacy effectively for its purpose.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security.
  2. Publish a security policy or incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the site.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and secure content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Cookie consent is managed by tarteaucitron, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes accessibility features such as skip links and accessibility modules. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile-friendly and SEO-optimized with proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but HTTPS and SSL configuration are excellent. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience.
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.
