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

The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) is a globally recognized voluntary membership organization comprising insurance supervisors and regulators from over 200 jurisdictions, representing 97% of the world's insurance premiums. Established in 1994, IAIS serves as the global standard-setting body for insurance supervision, developing principles, standards, and guidance to promote fair, safe, and stable insurance markets worldwide. The organization supports its members through capacity building, implementation assessments, and financial stability monitoring, positioning itself as a key player in global financial stability. Technically, the IAIS website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform utilizing Elementor for page building, Revolution Slider for dynamic content display, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site employs Matomo analytics for user tracking and demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with a professional design and clear navigation enhancing user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks explicit security headers and dedicated security or incident response pages. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting a strong commitment to user privacy. Overall, the IAIS website presents a professional, trustworthy, and content-rich platform suitable for its global supervisory audience. The main limitation is the absence of WHOIS data, which restricts domain registration trust analysis. However, the organization's global reputation and website quality mitigate this concern. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security policies, and verifying WHOIS data for improved trust.

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

2 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 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. 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

IAIS holds a strong market position as the global standard-setting body for insurance supervision, serving a large international membership. Its business model is based on voluntary membership, standard setting, and capacity building, targeting insurance regulators and supervisors worldwide. The organization benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem and regularly publishes authoritative reports and consultation papers. Growth indicators include active engagement in global financial stability initiatives and hosting large-scale events. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear business focus and professional content supporting its mission.

Security posture

The IAIS website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect user inputs. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which limits transparency on security governance. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration data to improve trust and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible trust seals or certifications related to information security.

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.
