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

The European Chemical Employers Group (ECEG) is a Brussels-based social affairs organization representing employers federations in the European chemical, pharmaceutical, rubber, and plastics industries. The website serves as an informational platform for industry stakeholders and national federations from 18 countries. The business model is that of an industry association focused on advocacy and representation within the manufacturing sector. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix Thunderbolt and standard JavaScript polyfills, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and presents content professionally but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is used but no explicit security headers or privacy policies are detected, which could be improved to enhance compliance and trust. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces trust but is common for such organizations. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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. 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

  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 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

ECEG occupies a niche market position as a European industry federation representing chemical sector employers. Its competitive advantage lies in its Brussels location and focus on social affairs, providing a platform for employer federations across multiple countries. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on advocacy and coordination rather than direct revenue generation. The target audience includes national employers' federations and industry stakeholders. The website content is relevant and consistent with the organization's mission. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not publicly disclosed. The partnership ecosystem appears limited to industry federations. Strategic observations suggest the organization could improve digital presence by adding contact information, privacy policies, and security disclosures to enhance stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options are detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in transparency and technical safeguards. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer or security contact.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and broaden reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix Thunderbolt and standard JavaScript polyfills for compatibility. The infrastructure is typical for small to medium-sized organizations using website builders. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization detected. Mobile optimization is good, consistent with Wix's responsive design capabilities. Accessibility features are basic, with some focus ring and keyboard navigation support but no advanced ARIA roles or semantic enhancements observed. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced structured data beyond a simple WebSite schema. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform but limits customization and advanced security controls. Modernization opportunities include adding security headers, privacy compliance features, and enhanced accessibility support.
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.
