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

DATEX II is a European standard organization focused on traffic and travel information exchange. The website serves as a hub for specifications, implementations, user domains, documentation, and educational resources related to the DATEX II standard. It targets stakeholders in the transportation sector across Europe, providing authoritative content and event information. The site is built on a WordPress platform using modern themes and plugins, ensuring a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security measures include HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, but lack explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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 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 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

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

The website positions DATEX II as a key European standard in the transportation sector, offering comprehensive resources and community engagement through events and an academy. Its business model revolves around standardization and information dissemination rather than direct commercial sales. The target audience includes organizations involved in traffic and travel data exchange. The site demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, supporting its role as an authoritative source. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly indicated. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on formal communication channels via contact forms.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security or incident response policies, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, limiting the ability for external parties to report issues. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates gaps in compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better policy publication and technical security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and publish security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and Astra theme, leveraging common plugins like Contact Form 7 and Google reCAPTCHA. The tech stack is modern and supports responsive design, contributing to good user experience and mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and analytics integration. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and analytics for better monitoring.
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.
