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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Antwerp Declaration serves as a collaborative platform uniting over 1,300 organizations from 25 sectors to advocate for a strategic European Industrial Deal. Its market position is that of an important industry advocacy entity with strong ties to European institutions and industry leaders. The business model revolves around policy advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring progress via frameworks developed in partnership with Deloitte. The target audience includes European industry players, government bodies, and NGOs focused on industrial competitiveness and sustainability. The initiative benefits from coordination by Cefic, a large and reputable industry council based in Belgium, enhancing credibility and influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, privacy-respecting analytics, and a cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR requirements but could improve by formalizing security governance documentation and providing clear channels for security incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection.
  3. Implement and publicize an incident response contact or abuse email address for security issues.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update privacy and cookie policies as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. It leverages Matomo for analytics, which is privacy-friendly, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. Hosting is provided by Hostinger.com within the EU, ensuring data residency compliance. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with a clean and professional design. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. The CMS appears custom or headless, enabling flexible content management. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
