64/100

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

The website emy.gr is the official online presence of the Hellenic National Meteorological Service, providing comprehensive weather forecasts, warnings, and climate data for Greece. It serves as a critical government resource for meteorological information, targeting the general public, maritime and aviation sectors, and researchers. The site is well-structured with modern web technologies including Nuxt.js and Leaflet for interactive maps, ensuring good user experience and accessibility. Security measures such as HTTPS and reCAPTCHA v3 are implemented, though privacy and cookie policies are absent, representing a compliance gap. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong business credibility and technical maturity appropriate for a national government service.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

EMY holds a strong market position as Greece's authoritative meteorological agency, offering a wide range of services including real-time weather updates, marine and aviation forecasts, and climate research. The business model is government-funded, focusing on public service rather than commercial revenue. The website links to partner and service domains such as legacy portals and climate atlases, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its public service mandate. Growth indicators include the adoption of modern web frameworks and accessibility tools, supporting broad user engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA v3. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site would benefit from formalizing these aspects to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Include verified company contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to maintain security hygiene and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with client-side rendering and server-side capabilities. It leverages Leaflet for interactive mapping and integrates Google Fonts and reCAPTCHA services. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses multiple CSS and JS bundles with module preloading for efficiency. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting details are not explicit but the presence of HTTPS and security headers indicates a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and privacy compliance by adding missing policies and metadata.
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.
