42/100

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

EuroGeographics AISBL is a well-established, independent international non-profit organization representing Europe's National Mapping, Cadastral, and Land Registration Authorities. The organization serves as an authoritative geo-information framework for Europe, providing members with access to official geospatial data, knowledge exchange networks, and policy briefings. Their website reflects a strong market position with comprehensive content tailored to geospatial professionals and governmental bodies across Europe. The technical infrastructure is based on a modern WordPress CMS with integration of popular libraries such as jQuery, Font Awesome Pro, and Bootstrap, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness, with clear contact information and active social media presence. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and security policy documentation suggests areas for improvement in privacy compliance and security 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

4 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

EuroGeographics operates as a non-profit membership organization focused on providing authoritative geospatial data and facilitating knowledge exchange among European national mapping authorities. Their business model centers on collaboration and data sharing within the geospatial sector, targeting governmental and institutional clients. The organization benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem and a well-defined market niche. Their digital presence supports their strategic goals through informative content, event management, and member services. The website's content and structure indicate a mature organization with a clear focus on European geospatial data infrastructure and policy influence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses secure POST methods for login forms. While no explicit security headers were detected in the provided HTML, the presence of modern libraries and absence of exposed sensitive data indicate a reasonable security posture. The lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and may impact user trust. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were identified from the content. To enhance security maturity, the organization should consider publishing detailed security policies, incident response procedures, and implementing comprehensive security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve security transparency and user trust.
  3. Ensure all recommended security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) are properly configured and visible.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including vulnerability disclosure and data protection officer contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome Pro 6.7.2. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, ShareThis, and AddThis for analytics and social sharing. The site is well-structured with comprehensive meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO optimization. Performance appears moderate with responsive design and accessibility features implemented. The use of multiple font variants from Font Awesome indicates attention to design detail. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
