Risk levelLow

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

The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) operates a professional and content-rich website focused on conservation, education, and membership services for zoos and aquariums primarily in Europe and Western Asia. The organization positions itself as a leading regional non-profit with over 400 members, emphasizing animal welfare, species conservation, and public engagement. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Gatsby and React, with a CMS likely based on Strapi, delivering fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not evident. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or registry issues, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security policies.

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

4 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 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

EAZA holds a strong market position as the largest regional zoo and aquarium association in Europe, providing accreditation, conservation programs, and educational resources. Its business model revolves around membership services, professional development, and advocacy. The organization leverages partnerships and a broad network to amplify conservation efforts. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation and comprehensive content targeting both member institutions and the public. Growth indicators include active event calendars and campaigns. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as members.eaza.net and conservation-related external resources.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. GDPR compliance is supported by a privacy policy and cookie consent banner. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional headers and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  4. Provide clear company contact emails and phone numbers on the website for improved credibility.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Gatsby (React-based static site generator), Tailwind CSS for styling, and Strapi as a headless CMS. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and performs well with fast loading times. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content.
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.
