Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Secretariat · Government · Singapore
Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Secretariat operates as a long-established intergovernmental forum promoting economic cooperation, trade, and investment among 21 member economies in the Asia-Pacific region. The website serves as an authoritative source of news, events, policy documents, and resources for government officials, business leaders, and stakeholders. It reflects a mature organization with a clear mission to facilitate regional economic integration and sustainable development. Technically, the website is built on a modern CMS platform (Sitefinity) with Bootstrap 4 for responsive design. It employs Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a rich user experience with comprehensive navigation and content. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the organization's identity, with domain locking enabled for security. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and domain transfer protection. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit privacy and cookie policies, and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism. No incident response contacts or security policies are published, which are areas for improvement. The site does not appear to be behind a WAF or blocked by security challenges, allowing full content access. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, but it should enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions
SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
