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

1 finding 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.

    • 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

IDB's market position as a major development finance institution is supported by comprehensive content targeting governments, private sector, civil society, and donors. The business model centers on development projects, financial assistance, and knowledge sharing. The website's ecosystem includes multiple partner domains and integrates analytics and marketing tools to support outreach. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled communication strategy typical of large institutions. The organization's branding is consistent and content quality is excellent, reinforcing its authoritative presence in the development sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and multiple security headers, reflecting adherence to best practices. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, vulnerability disclosure programs, or incident response contacts represents an area for improvement to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from more explicit security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security governance and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance visibility of contact information to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. Integration with Google Analytics and Tag Manager supports data-driven insights, while OneTrust manages cookie consent effectively. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content and analytics scripts. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of multiple CDN and analytics domains suggests a distributed infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities to improve transparency around security and incident response.
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.
