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

EU Copyright Office operates a website providing worldwide copyright registration and deposit services, targeting creators and intellectual property owners. The site offers educational content about intellectual property and copyright law, supporting users with multi-language options and basic legal information. The business model centers on acting as an independent registrar and depository service, emphasizing securing evidence of ownership for copyright claims. The market position is niche, focusing on copyright registration within the EU context, but the lack of WHOIS data raises questions about domain legitimacy. Technically, the website is built on Drupal CMS with standard modules and uses Google Analytics and Adsense for tracking and monetization. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, and SEO practices are adequately implemented. Security posture is reasonable with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Security evaluation shows no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of WHOIS registration details and direct contact information reduces business credibility. Privacy compliance is basic with cookie banners and a privacy policy present, but GDPR compliance indicators could be stronger. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices. Strategic recommendations include improving WHOIS transparency, implementing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and providing clear company contact details to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 EU Copyright Office website targets creators and intellectual property owners seeking copyright registration and deposit services. Its competitive advantage lies in providing independent evidence of ownership and multi-language educational content. The business model relies on service fees for registration and deposit, supported by advertising revenue from Google Adsense. The partnership ecosystem includes links to related IP organizations and niche product sites. Growth indicators are limited due to lack of public business data. The company operates in a specialized niche with moderate market presence and limited public business intelligence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or security policy documents are publicly available, and no security.txt file is found for vulnerability disclosure. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers reduces the ability to report security incidents effectively. Compliance with GDPR is basic but could be improved with more detailed privacy and data protection disclosures. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish complete WHOIS registration details or clarify domain registration status to improve legitimacy and trust.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  5. Provide clear company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with standard modules and uses jQuery and Google services for analytics and advertising. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with some reliance on external ad scripts which may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by updating security practices and enhancing accessibility compliance. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, limiting infrastructure assessment.
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.
