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

The Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation (INMO) is Ireland's largest professional nursing and midwifery trade union and association, serving members across all health service areas. The organization provides tailored support, professional development, employment rights advice, and advocacy services to nurses and midwives. The website reflects a strong market position with comprehensive member resources, events, and campaigns, targeting healthcare professionals in Ireland. Technically, the website is built on the DNN CMS platform with modern JavaScript frameworks including Angular 14 and Alpine.js, supported by jQuery libraries. It integrates Matomo analytics and cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance metrics. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses anti-forgery tokens in forms, but lacks explicit security headers and documented incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, with clear contact information and social media presence enhancing trust. Overall, the site presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for a large healthcare union. The main limitation is the absence of WHOIS data, which restricts domain registration trust verification. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and obtaining full WHOIS transparency to improve 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

INMO holds a dominant position in the Irish healthcare union sector, offering membership, professional development, and advocacy services. Its business model focuses on member engagement through courses, events, and expert advice. The organization leverages partnerships for professional training and website development. The target audience is healthcare professionals, primarily nurses and midwives in Ireland. The website's content and structure support growth and member retention, with clear navigation and frequent updates. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor risk but does not detract from the organization's established reputation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement and anti-CSRF tokens in forms. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy better than some alternatives. No signs of malware, phishing, or data leaks were found. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency to improve domain trustworthiness and legitimacy verification.
  5. Maintain and improve privacy compliance with explicit data retention and user rights information.

The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence suitable for a large membership organization.
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.
