0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Base1 is a youth-focused makerspace and creativity hub based in Luxembourg, offering open access to a makerspace, workshops, and events for young people aged 8 to 30. The organization supports a wide range of creative projects including drone building, coding, video production, and more, fostering innovation and learning in a community environment. The website is multilingual, primarily in French, and integrates modern web technologies with WordPress CMS and various plugins for multilingual support, forms, and cookie management. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks published privacy and security policies. The domain registration aligns well with the organization's Luxembourg location and youth focus, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, user-friendly, and trustworthy, though improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. DNS health

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

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  3. 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 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';…

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

Base1 operates as a small non-profit educational entity serving youth and community groups in Luxembourg. Its market position is that of a local makerspace and creativity incubator, leveraging partnerships with government and youth organizations (evidenced by DNS and linked domains). The business model centers on providing free or low-barrier access to creative tools and educational workshops, targeting young individuals and institutions like schools and youth centers. The website content and structure reflect a focus on engagement and community building rather than commercial transactions. Growth potential lies in expanding events and resources, while maintaining strong ties with local government and youth networks.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security posture is moderate but would benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain and document data retention and privacy compliance practices to strengthen GDPR adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern frontend using Webpack bundles and SVG graphics for visual appeal. It uses common plugins such as Contact Form 7, WPML for multilingual support, and Cookie Law Info for cookie management. The site loads jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a community-focused site but could be enhanced with improved SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
