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.
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"
This scan found 22 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The Euro-Institut operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on cross-border cooperation between Germany, France, and Switzerland. Its niche market position is supported by a long history and specialized services including seminars, language tandems, and project evaluations. The business model is service-oriented, targeting governmental and non-governmental organizations. The website's partnership ecosystem includes networks and projects but no direct commercial partners are listed. Growth indicators include a multilingual website and active LinkedIn presence. Revenue streams likely derive from training programs and consulting services. The organization maintains a professional digital presence with moderate technical sophistication.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and a cookie consent mechanism is implemented using Klaro, indicating GDPR awareness. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) are detected in the HTML content, and no published security or incident response policies are found. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which limits transparency for security researchers. The embedded Mailjet form suggests third-party reliance for email marketing, which should be monitored for data protection compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit educational institution but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and publishing clear security policies.
Recommendations
Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit third-party integrations like Mailjet to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and minimize risk exposure.
Enhance website performance and accessibility by optimizing assets and ensuring compliance with WCAG standards.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Photoswipe for image galleries and Powermail for form handling. Cookie consent is managed via Klaro, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets asynchronously, which supports moderate performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with clear navigation and multilingual support. However, no hosting provider or CDN information is evident from the HTML content. There is room for improvement in security header implementation and potential performance tuning.
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.
