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

FEDIL is a well-established multisector entrepreneurial federation based in Luxembourg, representing over 750 members across 37 sectors and accounting for 35% of the country's GDP. Founded in 1918, it serves as a key voice for Luxembourg's industrial and entrepreneurial community, providing advocacy, events, publications, and networking opportunities. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and content-rich, reflecting the organization's authoritative market position. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and libraries such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR charter indicates a mature approach to privacy compliance. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data shows standard name servers with no privacy protection, consistent with a legitimate business presence. Overall, FEDIL's website presents a strong, trustworthy digital presence with minor areas for security enhancement. It effectively supports the organization's business goals and stakeholder engagement.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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

FEDIL holds a prominent position as Luxembourg's leading industrial federation, leveraging its extensive membership base to influence economic policy and industry standards. Its business model centers on membership services, advocacy, and information dissemination through media and events. The organization targets industrial companies, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, with a focus on sectors such as manufacturing and energy. Strategic partnerships with sites like HelloFuture and Fedil Echo enhance its ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with a clear growth and engagement strategy, emphasizing transparency and member value.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR compliance mechanisms in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing additional security best practices and formalizing incident response communication channels to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with multilingual support via WPML, leveraging jQuery and Google Tag Manager for interactivity and analytics. The use of Plyr indicates media content support. The site loads with moderate performance and is well-optimized for mobile devices. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS points to arianesoft.com name servers. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the organization's needs, with opportunities to improve security headers and formalize security policies.
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.
