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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

ID4me.org holds a niche position in the digital identity and authentication market, promoting an open and decentralized standard. Its business model revolves around consortium-driven protocol development and adoption rather than direct commercial services. The target audience includes internet users seeking privacy-preserving login solutions, developers implementing the protocol, and identity providers. The website content and structure support community engagement and technical collaboration, with competence groups and developer zones. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on community and developer interaction rather than direct sales. The presence of HubSpot scripts indicates some marketing or lead capture efforts. The domain age and registration details align well with the business history, supporting credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, preventing unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to protect against DNS spoofing. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS are not confirmed in the provided data, suggesting potential gaps in defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses standard WordPress plugins and scripts, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or security contact information is provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from implementing additional DNS and HTTP security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Add explicit cookie consent mechanisms to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  5. Provide dedicated security or abuse contact channels to improve incident response capabilities and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Elementor page builder, leveraging common web technologies such as PHP, jQuery, and Font Awesome icons. Hosting is provided by IONOS SE, a reputable provider. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted external sources like Google Fonts. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses HubSpot scripts for marketing forms, though no active forms were detected in the snippet. Technical risks include the absence of DNSSEC and unconfirmed security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
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.
