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

The Ελληνική Εταιρία για τη Σκλήρυνση κατά Πλάκας is a well-established Greek non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by multiple sclerosis. With over 7,000 members nationwide and 30 years of activity, it provides comprehensive services including patient support, awareness campaigns, counseling, and research promotion. The website reflects a professional digital presence with clear branding and a focus on community engagement through social media and events. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and integrates modern plugins for enhanced user experience, such as social media feeds, push notifications, and document embedding. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the website employs HTTPS and standard security headers, with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves its community well but should address compliance gaps and enhance security transparency to strengthen its posture and user confidence.

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

11 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 organization occupies a strong position in the Greek healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on multiple sclerosis. Its business model relies on membership and donations, supported by partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers. The website showcases these partnerships and provides educational content, indicating a strategy centered on awareness and community support. Growth indicators include active social media channels and regular content updates. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving major pharma companies and local entities, enhancing credibility and resource access.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and vulnerability disclosure page indicates compliance and transparency gaps. Incident response readiness is not evident, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. These gaps could expose the organization to regulatory risks and reduce user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU regulations.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

  4. Social media presence is strong with official accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube
  5. Use of modern WordPress plugins and Elementor builder indicates moderate technical maturity

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, supported by various plugins for social media integration, document embedding, and newsletter management. The tech stack is current and widely supported, facilitating ease of maintenance and scalability. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and responsive design implemented. However, there is potential technical debt in plugin management and accessibility compliance. SEO is adequately addressed through meta tags and structured content, but could benefit from enhanced schema markup and sitemap optimization.
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.
