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. 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

    • 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

The company operates in the non-profit sector, targeting civil society organizations and progressive actors. Their business model revolves around providing digital services and consulting tailored to the needs of NGOs and similar entities. The presence of multiple client references and testimonials indicates a stable client base and good market positioning within their niche. The use of open source software and emphasis on data autonomy aligns with their target audience's values. The company appears to have a focused partnership ecosystem with related organizations in the civil society space. Growth potential exists through expanding digital transformation services and enhancing compliance and security offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The use of open source software and encryption where necessary is a positive practice. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. The outdated Drupal 7 CMS version is a concern as it may have unpatched vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with modern best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Plan for CMS upgrade or migration from Drupal 7 to a supported version to mitigate security risks.
  5. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 7 CMS with several JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.12, Slick Carousel, Colorbox, and mmenu for UI and navigation enhancements. The hosting is provided by agenturserver with multiple name servers indicating a stable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The use of open source software aligns with the company's values. Technical debt is present due to the outdated CMS version, which should be addressed to maintain security and performance. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach.
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.
