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

3 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 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. 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

  3. 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

The organization operates as a non-profit entity providing standardization services across multiple sectors including energy and transport. It maintains a large network of experts and partners, positioning itself as a key player in European standardization. The business model revolves around collaboration, technical work, and stakeholder engagement rather than direct commercial sales. The website supports this with detailed sector information, expert areas, and calls for involvement. Partnerships and expert communities are emphasized, reflecting a strong ecosystem approach. The presence of official social media channels and comprehensive policies further reinforce credibility and market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented in compliance with GDPR. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms adds protection against automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting potential enhancement opportunities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information.
  2. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Consider providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for security and general inquiries to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1, jQuery 2.2.4, Owl Carousel, Moment.js, and Daterangepicker. Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA are integrated for enhanced user experience and security. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple carousel items and media content. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, though no JSON-LD structured data was detected. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security headers.
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.
