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. 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 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

IEMA's market positioning as a global professional body in sustainability is reinforced by its extensive service offerings and partnerships with related domains such as Green Careers Hub and Diverse Sustainability Initiative. The business model focuses on membership fees, training courses, and corporate partnerships, targeting professionals and organizations committed to environmental management. The website's content and structure support a high level of professionalism and trust, with clear contact details and certifications displayed. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to audience engagement and growth. The organization's UK base and registration details are consistent with its public claims, enhancing credibility. The partnership ecosystem and content strategy suggest a well-established entity with growth potential in the sustainability education and professional development market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare providing WAF and DDoS protection. Security best practices such as anti-CSRF tokens in forms and cookie consent management are implemented. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms, including GDPR-aligned cookie consent. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet or exceed compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
