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

8 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

    • 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

  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';…

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

EAIPA holds a unique market position as a representative body for independent performing arts in Europe, leveraging partnerships with national organizations across multiple countries. Its business model is membership-based, focusing on advocacy, information dissemination, and sector networking. The organization targets independent artists, ensembles, and cultural policymakers. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides clear information about members and activities. Growth potential exists through further expansion of membership and enhanced digital presence. The partnership ecosystem is broad and includes many national associations, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and GDPR cookie consent mechanisms in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of security headers and public security policies indicates room for improvement. There is no published incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of reputable plugins and hosting by domainfactory GmbH adds trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's size and sector but could be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and structured data to increase search visibility and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, supported by jQuery and Mailjet for marketing forms. The Complianz GDPR plugin manages cookie consent and compliance. Hosting is provided by domainfactory GmbH, a reputable European hosting provider. The site loads with moderate speed and is optimized for mobile devices. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are used for styling and emoji support. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though performance could be improved with further optimization and caching strategies.
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.
