Medium risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and Security headers.

Security score

57/100

Risk levelMedium

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

ERTICO is a well-established European partnership organization specializing in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and smart mobility innovation. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a focus on collaboration, European projects, and industry events. The technical infrastructure is based on Drupal CMS with modern libraries such as Swiper.js and Matomo analytics, indicating a balanced approach to performance and privacy. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, though improvements are recommended in security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent mechanisms but lacks a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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. 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ertico.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ertico.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

ERTICO operates as a key facilitator in the ITS ecosystem, engaging a broad range of partners including industry players, public authorities, and research institutions. Its business model centers on partnership and project coordination, leveraging events like ITS Congresses and innovation platforms to drive market influence. The domain age and WHOIS data support a credible and stable market position. The website content and partner testimonials reinforce its role as a trusted industry player. However, direct contact information is not prominently displayed, which may limit immediate engagement opportunities.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS and domain-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status flags, enhancing trustworthiness. However, the absence of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach. To strengthen security posture, the organization should implement recommended HTTP security headers, publish a security policy, and provide vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  4. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  6. Improve visibility of contact information to facilitate user engagement and trust.
  7. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with integration of modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and Matomo for analytics. The use of Typekit fonts enhances branding consistency. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting is via GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar and likely hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and image sizes. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
