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

3 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 coalition operates as a non-profit advocacy group targeting organizations, companies, and policymakers interested in encryption and digital security. Its business model centers on coalition-building, policy influence, and public awareness campaigns. The presence of over 350 members and active event organization positions it as a significant player in the encryption advocacy market. The website’s content and external links demonstrate strong partnerships with reputable organizations such as the Internet Society and Mozilla. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, grants, and donations. The coalition’s strategic focus on global encryption threats and policy responses aligns with current digital privacy trends, supporting sustained relevance and growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable plugins and external scripts is noted, though the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust. Overall, the site is secure for visitors but could benefit from additional security best practices and clearer incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update all third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts or security policy information on the website.
  5. Consider adding a dedicated privacy policy page with detailed GDPR compliance information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing Yoast SEO for search optimization and CookieYes for cookie consent management. It employs jQuery and Leaflet.js for interactive map features. The site loads external scripts asynchronously, improving performance. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the coalition’s advocacy and informational goals effectively.
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.
