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

4 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 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 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 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

  3. 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

WONCA holds a strong market position as a global non-profit organization dedicated to family doctors and primary care. Its business model focuses on membership engagement, educational events, accreditation, and advocacy. The website supports these activities with detailed resources, news updates, and event promotion. Partnerships with donation platforms and accreditation services indicate diversified revenue streams and stakeholder engagement. The target audience includes individual doctors, member organizations, and healthcare policymakers. The organization's global reach and consistent branding reinforce its leadership role in the healthcare community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party analytics and tag management is evident. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could be addressed to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for its informational and membership functions.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms using the Pegboard CMS and Telerik UI components, indicating a mature but somewhat legacy technology stack. Integration of jQuery, Bootstrap modals, and Google services reflects a hybrid modern approach. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements and a mobile menu. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack further and improve accessibility compliance.
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.
