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

The website ead.gr serves as the official platform for the Greek National Rural Network (Εθνικό Αγροτικό Δίκτυο - ΕΑΔ), supporting the implementation and dissemination of the EU's agricultural development programs, specifically the Rural Development Program 2014-2020. It targets stakeholders involved in agricultural development including farmers, rural residents, consultants, and researchers. The platform provides news, events, innovation networking, and project showcases to foster sustainable rural development. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO, WPBakery, and Slider Revolution, ensuring a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and some security best practices but lacks comprehensive security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is legitimate, well-branded, and professionally maintained, but could improve in 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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. 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

  3. 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';…

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

EAD.gr occupies a niche government/non-profit sector role as the official Greek National Rural Network platform, aligned with EU agricultural policy frameworks. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on information dissemination, networking facilitation, and support for agricultural projects. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official status and integration with EU programs. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The target customer segments include agricultural stakeholders and policy implementers. Growth indicators include active event postings and innovation initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes EU networks and national agricultural bodies. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency to maintain trust and regulatory alignment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and content injection. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates limited incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in compliance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and link a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Configure or remove unused Google Analytics plugins to avoid unnecessary data collection risks.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user inclusivity.

  2. Content is comprehensive and well-structured with clear navigation and multiple sections for news, events, innovation, and member information.
  3. No privacy or cookie policy found, which is a compliance gap.
  4. Security posture is good with HTTPS and some security best practices but lacks some security headers and vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Use of modern WordPress plugins and technologies with some unused or unconfigured plugins (ExactMetrics).
  6. No signs of malicious or suspicious content or domains.
  7. Contact information is present but could be more prominently detailed.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress 6.4.5 platform using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, WPBakery for page building, and Slider Revolution for dynamic content display. It uses Google Fonts and jQuery 3.7.1, ensuring modern front-end compatibility. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. However, some technical debt is noted with unused or unconfigured plugins like ExactMetrics. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from performance tuning and plugin management.
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.
