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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

Business context

Business profile

ISACA operates on a professional membership and certification business model, generating revenue through credentialing, training, enterprise solutions, and membership fees. Its target customers include IT auditors, security managers, risk professionals, and governance practitioners. The organization maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including its official store and community engagement platforms. ISACA's competitive advantage lies in its globally recognized certifications and comprehensive professional resources. Growth indicators include continuous expansion of certification offerings and training programs. The website's integration with multiple service domains reflects a mature operational structure supporting global outreach and member engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file indicates an opportunity to formalize security communication channels. Overall, ISACA's security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and public disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.
  5. Enhance contact information with direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (AngularJS) combined with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. OneTrust is integrated for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized CSS. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. The technical stack supports a professional and scalable web presence but could be enhanced with additional security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
