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. 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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

EUROCONTROL operates as an intergovernmental organisation with a large-scale presence in the European transportation sector. Its business model revolves around providing operational services, regulatory frameworks, and data-driven insights to aviation stakeholders. The organisation's market position is strong, acting as a central coordinator for European air traffic management. Key services include network management, cost recovery, civil-military cooperation, innovation, and training. The website's external links and partner logos indicate collaboration with SESAR and other aviation bodies. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach, typical for governmental or intergovernmental entities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks visible security headers and a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. No incident response contacts are provided. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adding explicit security policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of contact information to improve user trust and support.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform, leveraging Font Awesome 6 for icons and Matomo for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Performance appears moderate, with deferred and async loading of scripts. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain uses stable name servers. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement a formal vulnerability disclosure mechanism.
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.
