The EU-EAC CORE Programme website represents a collaborative initiative between the European Union and the East African Community to advance regional economic integration. The program focuses on supporting the Customs Union and Common Market Protocols, facilitating trade and investment, and strengthening institutional capacity. The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using Elementor and related plugins, providing a professional and user-friendly experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with a cookie consent mechanism but lacks a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the site is credible and well-positioned for its governmental and non-profit role, though improvements in transparency and security practices are recommended.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The website targets stakeholders involved in East African regional integration, including government agencies, regulators, and businesses. It positions itself as an important regional program supported by the EU and EAC, offering services such as trade facilitation, capacity building, and partnership strengthening. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on policy implementation and regional cooperation. The presence of official logos, fact sheets, and social media links supports its legitimacy. The domain is newly registered consistent with the program's recent launch. No commercial or payment-related partners were identified.
Security posture
The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain transfer lock status, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents a security gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional best practices and policies.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency and incident response readiness.

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.
