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. 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The program targets regional and local governments, policymakers, and practitioners across Europe, positioning itself as a key facilitator of policy learning and regional development. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on governmental and non-profit sectors with a large-scale European presence involving 36 countries. The platform's extensive content, active social media presence, and detailed documentation indicate a mature and well-established operation. Strategic partnerships with European institutions and regional bodies enhance its credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website employs strong security practices including mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of security headers and absence of vulnerable libraries further strengthen its security stance. However, explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not found, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is robust and appropriate for a governmental/non-profit platform.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a dedicated security policy page including incident response and vulnerability disclosure information.
  2. Add explicit security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance security headers with HSTS and X-Frame-Options if not already configured at server level.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for updates and vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear contact channels for security-related inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 9 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Select2, and LazySizes for performance and user experience enhancements. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot protection. Analytics are handled via Piwik PRO, indicating a focus on privacy-compliant data collection. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich content and multiple external resources. No critical technical issues or outdated components were detected.
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.
