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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

EUMETSAT holds a leading position in the European satellite meteorology sector, collaborating with numerous national meteorological agencies and international partners. Its business model is centered on providing satellite data and services to governmental and scientific users, supporting weather forecasting, climate research, and environmental monitoring. The website's extensive content, user portal, and event information indicate active engagement with its user base and stakeholders. The presence of multiple European meteorological agencies as partners underscores a broad cooperative ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses Drupal 10 CMS, a modern and secure platform. Security headers are partially detected, and Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, indicating privacy-conscious analytics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. However, explicit Content-Security-Policy headers were not detected and should be implemented. Overall, the security posture is strong with room for minor improvements in header configurations and ongoing vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  2. Conduct regular security audits and update Drupal and dependencies promptly to avoid vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance transparency on data retention policies related to analytics and user data.
  4. Consider publishing a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper.js, and FontAwesome for UI and interactivity. Hosting is managed via Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure, indicating reliable and scalable hosting. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and external analytics scripts. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for enhanced security headers and continuous CMS maintenance.
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.
