Risk levelLow

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

The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) operates a professional website serving healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of gynaecological oncology. The site provides information about annual meetings, position statements, and educational resources, positioning ESGO as a leading European society in its domain. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and targets a specialized audience in healthcare. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates essential SEO and analytics tools including Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and appropriate security headers present, though explicit incident response and security policy pages are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is justified for this type of organization. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with good privacy and security practices but could improve transparency by publishing contact and security-related information.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  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 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

ESGO's market positioning as a leading European professional society in gynaecological oncology is supported by its comprehensive event offerings and authoritative position statements. The business model revolves around membership, education, and congresses, targeting healthcare professionals and researchers. The website's integration with multiple advertising and analytics platforms indicates active engagement in marketing and outreach. The absence of direct contact information on the site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, possibly via membership portals or direct outreach. The partnership ecosystem includes major platforms like Facebook and Google for marketing and analytics. Growth indicators include regular updates and upcoming congress announcements. The organization's digital maturity is evidenced by structured data usage and cookie compliance mechanisms.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of Cookiebot for granular cookie consent demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk in incident management. The site does not display any signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding explicit security documentation and contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to facilitate communication.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to support vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI components. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site uses Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization and includes structured data in JSON-LD format for enhanced search visibility. Performance is moderate with standard CDN usage for libraries. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
