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

CFPE Europe is a federation representing commercial film producers associations across 21 European countries, encompassing over 900 independent production companies. The organization serves as a collective voice and support network for the advertising production industry in Europe, providing resources, advocacy, and organizing industry events such as summits. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting industry stakeholders and members of national associations. Technically, the site is built on WordPress and employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with structured data enhancing search engine visibility. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks some recommended security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which is inconsistent with the active and professional nature of the website and reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and serves its business purpose well, but could enhance privacy compliance and security posture.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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

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 federation holds a significant position in the European commercial film production sector, representing a large network of associations and companies. Its business model is based on collective representation and industry collaboration rather than direct commercial sales. The website content and news updates indicate active engagement with industry events and initiatives, suggesting a growth-oriented and well-connected organization. The presence of social media links and regular news posts supports ongoing communication with members and stakeholders. The lack of direct contact information on the site may be intentional to funnel inquiries through member associations. The organization appears medium-sized with a focused sector presence in media and advertising production.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Typekit is standard but requires regular review for vulnerabilities. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the site is secure enough for general informational purposes but would benefit from enhanced security headers, published privacy and security policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking and Typekit for font management. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy compliance features. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be improved with enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
