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

Growing Media Europe AISBL is a European non-profit organization representing producers of growing media and soil improvers. The website serves as an informational platform highlighting their commitment to environmental standards and sustainable resource use. The site is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt framework and standard web technologies. The technical infrastructure is modern but basic, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is average, with no explicit security headers or policies visible, and WHOIS data is privacy-protected as per EURid regulations. Overall, the website is functional and professional but lacks visible privacy, cookie, and contact policies, which impacts trust and compliance. Strategic improvements in security and privacy disclosures are recommended.

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

6 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

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention growing-media.eu, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for growing-media.eu right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 operates as a non-profit industry representative at the European level, targeting producers and stakeholders in the growing media and soil improvers sector. The business model focuses on advocacy, standard-setting, and promoting sustainable practices. The website content is consistent with this positioning but lacks detailed business or contact information. The absence of visible contact channels and policies may limit engagement and trust. The use of Wix indicates a cost-effective digital presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly referenced on the site or in the WHOIS data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs) but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. No incident response or security policies are published. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected, which is common for .eu domains but limits transparency. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits insight into user behavior. Overall, the security posture is basic and would benefit from enhanced headers, published policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  4. Consider publishing an incident response policy and security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using the Thunderbolt framework, with JavaScript bundles loaded via Webpack. Polyfills for legacy browser support are included. The site uses standard Wix hosting and CDN services. Performance is moderate with standard Wix optimizations. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO metadata is present but minimal. No advanced analytics or marketing tools were detected. The site lacks visible forms or interactive elements. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform but customization is limited.
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.
