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

Eurogroup for Animals is a pan-European non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to improving animal welfare and defending animal interests across Europe. The website serves as a platform to communicate their mission, campaigns, and policy initiatives to a broad audience including NGOs, policymakers, and the general public interested in animal welfare. The organization positions itself as a key voice in European animal advocacy with a focus on policy influence and public awareness. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies including Font Awesome for icons, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good digital maturity with mobile optimization, accessibility features, and a cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR requirements. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent with granular user controls. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not detected in the provided data, suggesting an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is typical for non-profit organizations and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, though it would benefit from enhanced security header implementation and clearer contact information. The risk profile is low, with no critical issues detected.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…

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

Eurogroup for Animals operates in the non-profit sector focusing on animal welfare advocacy at the European level. Their business model revolves around policy influence, campaigning, and public engagement rather than commercial revenue streams. The organization targets NGOs, policymakers, and animal welfare supporters across Europe. The website reflects a consistent brand and professional content quality, supporting their market position as a leading animal advocacy group. Partnerships with major platforms like Google, Facebook, and Stripe indicate integration with common digital tools for analytics and payment processing. Growth indicators are not explicit but the use of modern technology and compliance tools suggests ongoing digital investment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that should be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of third-party scripts (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Stripe) is managed with user consent, mitigating privacy risks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is common for non-profit sites but could be improved for transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy or incident response contact to demonstrate security readiness and build stakeholder confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, with integration of Font Awesome 6 Pro for iconography and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent, providing GDPR-compliant user controls. The site loads asynchronously many scripts from trusted domains, indicating a modular and performance-conscious design. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a good user experience. However, explicit security headers are not visible in the provided data, which is a technical risk. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of third-party scripts and caching strategies.
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.
