Risk levelLow

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

The Global Federation of Insurance Associations (GFIA) is a reputable non-profit organization established in 2012 that represents a large portion of the global insurance market through its member associations. The website serves as an information hub for industry news, publications, events, and advocacy efforts. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Snap.svg, with resources loaded from reputable CDNs and hosted by OVH sas. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenges, indicating good availability. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. Business credibility is high given the organization's global representation and domain age consistent with its founding. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

1 finding 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

GFIA holds a strong market position as a global federation representing insurers accounting for approximately 89% of worldwide insurance premiums. Its business model focuses on advocacy, information dissemination, and member services rather than direct commercial activities. The target audience includes insurance associations, regulators, and industry stakeholders. The organization maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and relevant content. No direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident from the site content. The hosting and domain registration details align with a legitimate and stable operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration safeguards such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses, enhancing domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, minimizing privacy risks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with standard security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to improve security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with jQuery, Snap.svg, Moment.js, and Font Awesome for UI and interactivity. Resources are loaded from trusted CDNs, contributing to performance and reliability. Hosting is provided by OVH sas, a reputable provider. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta keywords and description tags, although no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data was detected in the provided snippet. Accessibility features are basic but present. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. Technical debt is low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended.
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.
