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

CCAM is a European partnership focused on advancing Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility through coordinated research and innovation efforts. The organization acts as a platform for over 200 members from industry, research, and public sectors to collaborate on Horizon Europe projects and other initiatives. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging modern web technologies and SEO best practices to communicate its mission and activities effectively. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a robust tech stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Analytics, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence. Overall, the domain is privacy protected as per EURid policies, consistent with legitimate EU organizations. The site is safe for general audiences and does not contain any adult or questionable content.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

CCAM holds a strong market position as a leading European partnership in the automated mobility sector, facilitating collaboration among a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders. Its business model is non-profit and focused on coordination and knowledge dissemination rather than commercial sales. The partnership's extensive membership base and active project involvement indicate a mature and influential organization. The website's content and structure support its role as a knowledge hub and networking platform, targeting research institutions, industry players, and policymakers. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and user engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as connectedautomateddriving.eu, reinforcing its collaborative approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information. Use of security nonces in AJAX calls and absence of vulnerable libraries are positive indicators. However, the site lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, limiting transparency on security governance. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy reduces the site's readiness for coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and improving privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency and user trust.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to maintain security and performance.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-maintained tech stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Fonts. Performance optimizations are evident through WP Rocket caching and lazy loading techniques. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices implemented via Rank Math plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a large European partnership. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve privacy compliance 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.
