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

The European Association for Passive Fire Protection (EAPFP) is a well-established industry association founded in 1988, representing manufacturers, contractors, and institutions involved in passive fire protection across Europe. The organization acts as a collective voice for its members, providing publications, events, and advocacy services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, targeting industry professionals and stakeholders in fire safety. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The infrastructure is moderate in performance with good mobile optimization but lacks some advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure forms including CAPTCHA and GDPR consent, though improvements are recommended in DNS security and header implementation. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business claims, showing a long-standing presence and no suspicious patterns. The site is safe for general audiences and does not contain any adult or questionable content.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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
  • 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

EAPFP operates as a membership-based association focused on passive fire protection in Europe, leveraging partnerships with national organizations and industry bodies. Its business model centers on membership fees, publications, and events. The association maintains a network of partners across multiple European countries, enhancing its influence and reach. The website supports member engagement through registration portals and provides resources and news updates. The organization targets manufacturers, contractors, and fire protection professionals, positioning itself as a key industry voice. Growth indicators include regular meetings and active publication of industry news. The partnership ecosystem is broad and well represented on the site, indicating strong industry ties.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure contact forms featuring CAPTCHA and GDPR consent. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security or incident response policy, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational association website but could benefit from enhanced DNS and header security measures to mitigate potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using PHP and jQuery, enhanced with WPBakery Page Builder and LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking and analytics. The site is hosted with DNS servers from GoDaddy and registered via 123-Reg Limited. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to improve resilience. The infrastructure is typical for a small to medium-sized association website, with opportunities for modernization in security and privacy compliance.
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.
