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

The European Youth Portal, operated under the auspices of the European Commission, serves as an authoritative platform providing comprehensive information and opportunities for young people aged 18 to 30 across Europe and beyond. It focuses on the European Solidarity Corps initiative, facilitating youth engagement in volunteering, solidarity projects, and humanitarian aid. The portal is well-positioned as a trusted governmental resource with strong EU branding and multilingual support. Technically, the website leverages Drupal 11 CMS and modern web technologies including jQuery and Materialize CSS, hosted on EU infrastructure. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility standards. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers likely in place, although explicit security policies and incident response details are not published. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring a comprehensive privacy policy, cookie consent mechanisms, and GDPR adherence. Contact information is available primarily via phone and contact forms, with no direct email addresses publicly listed for general or security inquiries. The domain is part of the official europa.eu namespace, ensuring high legitimacy despite the absence of public WHOIS data due to privacy protections. Overall, the portal exhibits a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and user-centric design, making it a reliable resource for youth engagement in EU initiatives. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and vulnerability disclosure policies and enhancing transparency around incident response and data protection officer contacts.

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.

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

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

The portal operates as a governmental information and engagement platform targeting young Europeans and youth organizations. It benefits from the backing of the European Commission, positioning it as a key player in youth policy and solidarity initiatives. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and community engagement. The portal's extensive multilingual content, integration with EU initiatives, and active social media presence support broad outreach and impact. Growth indicators include regular updates on opportunities and news, reflecting active management and stakeholder engagement. Partnerships with other EU bodies and initiatives strengthen its ecosystem and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, likely comprehensive security headers, and secure form handling via Drupal's framework. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The portal's hosting within EU infrastructure and use of official domains mitigate risks. Recommendations include formalizing and publishing security governance documents and providing clear channels for security incident reporting to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer and security team.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The portal is built on Drupal 11 CMS, utilizing jQuery and Materialize CSS for frontend interactivity and styling. It integrates EU-specific webtools libraries for analytics and cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich content and external resource loading. The hosting environment is EU institutional infrastructure, ensuring reliability and compliance with EU standards. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and ensuring up-to-date CMS and library versions to prevent vulnerabilities.
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.
