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

The website www.aicpa-cima.com represents the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, a globally recognized professional body combining the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). It serves a large audience of accounting and finance professionals, offering certifications, continuing education, resources, and advocacy. The site is professionally designed with clear navigation and rich content tailored to students, practitioners, and organizations in the finance sector. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React, multiple analytics and marketing platforms such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and OneTrust for consent management. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. However, no explicit CMS or hosting provider information was detected. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enforced and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. The site uses consent management for cookies and tracking, indicating good privacy compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and the WHOIS data for the domain is missing or indicates the domain may not be registered, which is a concern for domain legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low risk with strong business credibility and privacy compliance, but the lack of WHOIS data and security headers suggests areas for improvement in domain registration transparency and security hardening.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Association of International Certified Professional Accountants holds a strong market position as a leading global professional body in accounting and finance. Its business model focuses on membership services, professional certifications (AICPA, CIMA, CGMA), continuing professional education, and advocacy. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, educational products, conferences, and publications. The target customers are accounting and finance professionals, students, firms, and corporations worldwide. The organization leverages partnerships with various analytics and marketing platforms to enhance engagement and reach. The website content and structure support a mature, well-established organization with a global footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of consent management tools for privacy compliance. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, as it impairs trust and domain legitimacy verification. No public incident response or security policy information was found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced header implementation and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness of the domain ownership.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.

Notes

The website is built using React, indicating a modern single-page application architecture. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads, AdRoll, Quora Events, and Mouseflow for user tracking and marketing optimization. Consent management is handled by OneTrust, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of explicit 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.
