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

2 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.

    • 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

  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 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

BHM occupies a key position in Iceland's labor union landscape, focusing on the interests of university-educated workers. Its business model revolves around membership services, including legal rights education, financial support through various funds, and professional development opportunities. The organization maintains active communication channels including social media and newsletters, enhancing member engagement. Partnerships with related domains such as orlof.is and minarsidur.bhm.is support its service offerings. The absence of WHOIS data is typical for .is domains and does not detract from the organization's credibility. The website's content quality and navigation clarity support its role as a trusted information source for members.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers in place. Cookie consent is actively managed via CookieHub, and LiveChat integration is handled securely. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is also not provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for users and aligns with best practices for non-profit organizations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user protections.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party integrations to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with Prismic CMS for content management, enabling efficient content updates and scalability. It uses CookieHub for cookie consent management and LiveChat for user support, indicating a focus on user engagement and compliance. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with appropriate SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. No hosting provider details were explicitly found, but the infrastructure supports fast loading and accessibility. The technical stack is current and aligns with industry standards for professional non-profit websites.
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.
