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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Go Strange! occupies a niche in the educational and non-profit sector, focusing on youth intercultural exchange in Belgium. Its business model is informational and service-oriented without direct monetization, relying on partnerships and public funding. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive coverage of various international experience themes and its free accessibility. The target audience is Flemish youth seeking abroad experiences. The organization benefits from a stable domain age and reputable registrar, supporting credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes JINT vzw and social media channels that enhance outreach. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular content updates. Strategic observations suggest potential for expanding digital engagement and formalizing security and privacy policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could hinder timely security issue management. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data protection officer contact details are missing. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response pages to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of contact information for security incidents, including abuse and security email addresses.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a solid technical foundation. It uses popular front-end libraries such as Normalize.css, Select2, and Owl Carousel for UI consistency and interactivity. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. Hosting is provided by Combell nv, a reputable Belgian hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and formal policy pages are areas for modernization.
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.
