The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, multi-language support, and comprehensive content tailored to industry professionals worldwide. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, uses modern marketing and analytics tools with consent management, and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS and AWS S3 for media. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, domain transfer protection, and consent mechanisms, though DNSSEC and explicit security headers could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, IAAPA demonstrates a high level of business credibility and digital maturity, with room for enhanced security transparency and incident response information.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

IAAPA holds a leading position in the global attractions industry, leveraging a membership-based business model focused on events, education, and advocacy. Their ecosystem includes partnerships with event registration platforms, e-learning providers, and networking tools, supporting a broad international audience. The organization benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding, reinforcing trust. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, sponsorships, and educational programs. The website's multilingual and regional content targeting supports global market penetration and member engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare DNS, enhancing resilience and security. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers. Consent management via OneTrust indicates GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options suggests areas for improvement. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could limit transparency and responsiveness. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and robust CMS, ensuring maintainability and security updates. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Crazy Egg, and Feathr, with consent management via OneTrust. Hosting leverages Cloudflare DNS and AWS S3 for media assets, supporting scalability and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
