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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

GLAJ-Vaud occupies a niche regional position as a coordinating body for youth organizations, focusing on non-profit activities and training services. Its business model centers on supporting youth engagement through services and platforms rather than commercial sales. The presence of WooCommerce suggests some transactional capabilities, likely for training registrations. The organization maintains a consistent brand and targets youth professionals and organizations in Vaud. Partnerships and social media presence are limited but focused. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services and improving compliance visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and some HTTP security headers indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. Enhancing security transparency and implementing comprehensive headers would strengthen the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement full HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed contact information including phone and physical address.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature WordPress environment with popular plugins such as WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, and WPBakery Page Builder. Performance optimizations include lazy loading and script deferral. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting provider details are not explicit. Some inline JavaScript complexity and multiple CSS stylesheets indicate moderate technical debt. Overall, the technical stack is modern but could benefit from further optimization and security hardening.
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.
