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

The International Green Energy Conference (IGEC25) website represents a professional and well-structured platform for an upcoming international conference focused on green energy and AI, scheduled for October 2025 in Reykjavik, Iceland. The conference is organized by reputable entities including the Arctic Portal and the University of Iceland, supported by multiple sponsors and partners. The site provides comprehensive information about the event agenda, speakers, sponsors, and organizational details, targeting academia, industry professionals, and researchers in the energy sector. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern front-end technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Owl Carousel, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and user experience. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing reliable performance and security benefits. However, the site lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes CSRF tokens in scripts, indicating some security best practices. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as vulnerability disclosure and incident response information, represents compliance and transparency gaps. Google Analytics is used for user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, which may raise privacy concerns under GDPR. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally presented but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security configurations. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response details to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

7 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

IGEC25 positions itself as a key international conference in the green energy and AI research domain, leveraging partnerships with academic institutions and government bodies. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on knowledge exchange, networking, and promoting innovation. The conference attracts a global audience of researchers, industry experts, and policy makers. Sponsorships from energy companies and government agencies indicate strong industry support. The event's timing and domain registration align well, suggesting a well-planned initiative. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable organizations, enhancing credibility and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and absence of published security policies or incident response plans indicate areas for improvement. The use of Cloudflare DNS provides some protection, but enabling DNSSEC would further secure domain integrity. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms for tracking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Review and optimize Google Analytics usage with explicit user consent and clear data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 5.3.8, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Font Awesome for icons. It loads fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from CDNJS, ensuring good performance and availability. The site is mobile responsive and has clear navigation with a structured menu. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which are recommended. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a conference website but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
