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

Eurocare is a well-established European non-profit alliance focused on preventing and reducing alcohol-related harm through policy advocacy, campaigns, and EU projects. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Brussels, it serves a broad audience including public health stakeholders and policymakers. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with comprehensive content about its mission, members, and activities. Technically, the site uses Joomla CMS with modern libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protected by privacy services, though improvements are needed in DNSSEC implementation and security headers. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but lacking a cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site scores well but could improve in security and privacy transparency.

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 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

  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

Eurocare occupies a strong position as a European NGO in public health advocacy, leveraging a wide network of member organizations across Europe. Its business model centers on policy influence and awareness campaigns rather than commercial revenue. The organization benefits from long domain tenure and recognized transparency registration. Partnerships with related domains and active social media presence support its outreach. The website's content and member logos demonstrate a broad coalition, reinforcing its credibility and influence in the sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, indicating baseline security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps that could expose the site to certain attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear secure but lack explicit security disclosures. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional technical controls and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a visible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance privacy compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and update CMS components to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 5, jQuery 3.6, Font Awesome 6, and Slick Carousel for UI components. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with some external dependencies on CDNs. The domain registrar is reputable, but hosting details are not explicit. No advanced frameworks beyond Bootstrap were detected. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
