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

The European Coalition for People living with Obesity (ECPO) operates a professional website focused on advocacy, education, and resource provision for people affected by obesity across Europe. The organization positions itself as a collaborative non-profit coalition with key services including a media image bank, educational resources, youth engagement campaigns, and patient support initiatives. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, with SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Fathom Analytics integrated. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare and Mesh Digital Limited respectively. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, though improvements are needed in DNSSEC adoption and security headers. Privacy compliance is currently lacking with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet GDPR requirements. Overall, the website demonstrates good content quality, clear navigation, and professional branding, supporting a high trustworthiness rating.

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

7 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, Google APIs

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

ECPO occupies a niche non-profit sector focused on obesity advocacy and education within Europe. Its business model centers on collaborative advocacy, resource sharing, and public awareness campaigns targeting people living with obesity, healthcare professionals, and caregivers. The organization leverages partnerships such as with eurobesity.org to extend its reach. Revenue streams are likely grant or donation-based typical of non-profits. The website's content and social media presence indicate active engagement with youth and patient communities. Growth potential exists through expanded digital resources and enhanced outreach. The partnership ecosystem is clear and focused, with no commercial conflicts detected.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file further reduces security maturity. Privacy compliance gaps, including missing privacy and cookie policies, expose the organization to regulatory risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Create and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are tracked via Google Analytics and Fathom Analytics. Hosting and DNS are managed through reputable providers including Cloudflare and Mesh Digital Limited. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses modern web fonts and scripts, and no deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and privacy compliance improvements are recommended to reduce operational risks.
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.
