Risk levelMedium

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

The European Network for Housing Research (ENHR) is a well-established academic network founded in 1988, serving housing researchers and institutions primarily in Europe. It facilitates collaboration through conferences, working groups, and seminars, and maintains a membership-based model. The website is hosted on WordPress with Elementor, showing moderate technical maturity and good content quality. Contact information and social media presence are clear, enhancing business credibility. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts privacy compliance scores. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protection but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, serving its niche audience effectively.

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

5 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.

    • 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: Twitter, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

ENHR occupies a niche academic market focused on housing research, with a strong European presence and international inclusivity. Its business model revolves around memberships and organizing academic events. The network's longevity and institutional backing (Delft University of Technology) provide competitive advantages. The website supports member engagement and information dissemination but lacks advanced marketing or analytics tools, indicating a focus on community rather than commercial growth. Partnerships appear limited to academic institutions. The organization could benefit from enhanced digital marketing and privacy compliance to expand reach and trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and advanced security headers suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policies are published, which may affect preparedness and transparency. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS infrastructure.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Develop and publish incident response and security policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Introduce cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, supported by jQuery and standard web technologies. Hosting is stable with Cloudflare DNS services. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical stack is standard for academic and non-profit websites but could benefit from modernization in security and SEO practices.
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.
