High risk. 8 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

EVGE is a European non-profit association established in 2004 that organizes communities across Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, and Slovakia to certify waste disposal specialist companies. The website serves as an informational platform presenting press releases, certification standards, and training events. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern theme and standard libraries, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is limited, with no cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy policy beyond a basic imprint page. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy 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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

EVGE holds a strong position as a niche certification body in the European waste disposal sector, leveraging its multi-national membership and long-standing history. Its business model focuses on standardization and certification services, supported by training and communication with regulatory bodies. The organization targets waste disposal companies seeking recognized certification to enhance market credibility. The website content and press releases indicate active engagement with stakeholders and regulatory authorities. However, the lack of direct contact information and limited digital marketing tools suggest a conservative digital presence focused on informational outreach rather than commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and absence of exposed sensitive data, indicating a baseline secure environment. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file represent gaps in security maturity. No incident response contacts or security policies are published, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. The site does not appear to use tracking or analytics that might introduce privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve defense-in-depth.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with the OnePress theme and common libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern CSS and JavaScript techniques. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The site blocks Google Fonts loading via script, possibly for privacy or performance reasons. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feeds present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting is via a reputable registrar, InterNetX GmbH. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could be enhanced with modern SEO and security best practices.
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.
