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

The Erasmus+ Youth and Sport Greece website serves as the official national portal for the Erasmus+ program in Greece, providing comprehensive information about program actions, priorities, application procedures, and news updates. It targets youth organizations, young individuals, and stakeholders involved in youth and sport initiatives under the Erasmus+ framework. The site is well-branded with official logos and consistent design, reflecting its authoritative government affiliation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor framework and several plugins that enhance accessibility and cookie compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and moderate performance. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present, although explicit security and incident response policies are not published. The security posture is strong with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned privacy policy. However, direct contact emails and phone numbers are not explicitly provided, which could be improved for better user support. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and safe for general audiences. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and trust further.

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

6 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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 website occupies a key position as the official information hub for Erasmus+ Youth and Sport activities in Greece, supported by government and EU program branding. Its business model focuses on information dissemination and support rather than commercial transactions. The target audience includes youth organizations, volunteers, educational institutions, and young people interested in Erasmus+ opportunities. The site’s partnership with erasmusplus.idealsolutions.gr for privacy and cookie policies indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include comprehensive content updates and active news sections. The absence of direct contact details suggests a controlled communication channel, likely managed by official bodies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of cookie consent plugins and accessibility tools indicates compliance with privacy and accessibility regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, which could be a gap in proactive security management. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in documented security governance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for user support.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and frameworks to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder, leveraging popular libraries such as jQuery and Font Awesome. Accessibility is enhanced via the Pojo Accessibility plugin, and cookie compliance is managed through the Cookie Law Info plugin. The site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and standard security headers. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
