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

3 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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 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

EGI Federation operates as a technology-focused federation delivering computing and data analytics services primarily for research communities. Their business model centers on federating resources and providing open solutions to accelerate scientific research and innovation. The website highlights key services such as batch computing, interactive computing, data spaces, federated access, and service hosting. The organization appears medium-sized with a consistent brand and professional content. The absence of detailed business registration or contact information on the website suggests a focus on community and federation members rather than direct commercial sales. The partnership ecosystem is implied through project links and community events, reinforcing their collaborative market position.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of multiple security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tracking. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the content or scripts. The privacy protection of WHOIS data is standard but reduces registrant transparency. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing formal security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Provide explicit security policy and incident response information on the website.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide registrant contact details for trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js (React framework), with optimized images and SVG animations for branding. It uses Matomo for analytics and MailerLite for marketing, indicating a focus on privacy and user engagement. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate with deferred scripts and preloading of key assets. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with room for performance tuning and enhanced privacy features.
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.
