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

EULEP is a European Union co-funded project platform led by Eurochambres, focusing on enhancing vocational education and training (VET) excellence across multiple European countries. The platform emphasizes innovative subjects such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and social innovation to promote lifelong learning tailored to enterprise needs. The website serves as a collaborative hub for 20 organizations from 8 countries, providing resources, partner information, and news related to VET development. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of security headers represent significant security weaknesses. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, reflecting basic GDPR compliance. Overall, the site is functional and informative but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

5 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 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 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 EULEP project operates as a non-profit consortium under Eurochambres, targeting vocational education stakeholders and enterprises seeking innovative training solutions. Its market position is collaborative and EU-centric, leveraging partnerships across Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Italy, Latvia, Spain, and Turkey. The business model relies on EU funding and cooperation among chambers of commerce, VET providers, academia, and public authorities. The platform's content and partner listings demonstrate a well-established network, supporting continuous VET aligned with regional and EU policy priorities. Growth potential lies in expanding training modules and increasing enterprise engagement. The website's partner ecosystem is robust, with multiple official domains linked, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate, which exposes users to potential data interception risks. No HTTP security headers such as HSTS or Content-Security-Policy are implemented, and DNS security features like DNSSEC and CAA records are absent. The absence of DMARC records increases the risk of email spoofing. While no critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the overall security configuration is basic and requires immediate enhancement. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, but no dedicated security policy or incident response information is provided. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy awareness, but user tracking is moderate. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user data.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Configure email security protocols including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to prevent spoofing.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance DNS security and certificate issuance control.
  5. Improve website performance to reduce load times and enhance user experience.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to build trust.
  7. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder and JetMenu plugin, hosted on OVH infrastructure. It employs jQuery, Vue.js, and Swiper.js for frontend interactivity and Matomo for analytics. The site has a moderate resource count (78) and a page size of approximately 80KB but suffers from slow load times (~7 seconds), indicating potential optimization needs. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO basics are covered with meta tags and structured navigation. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers, combined with missing DNS security features, represents technical debt and security risks. The site uses a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. Overall, the technical stack is modern but requires security and performance improvements to meet best practices.
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.
