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

The website isl2025lymphology.org serves as the official platform for the 30th World Congress of the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) scheduled for October 2025 in Antalya, Turkey. It targets medical professionals, researchers, and clinicians specializing in lymphology, providing comprehensive event information including scientific programs, workshops, registration, and social activities. The business model centers on event organization and promotion within the healthcare sector, positioning itself as a specialized international congress organizer. Technically, the site employs a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and various UI enhancement libraries such as Owl Carousel and AOS for animations. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS with Google reCAPTCHA for form security. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and visible privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for improvement in security and compliance maturity. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and anti-bot measures but misses critical security headers and formalized privacy and incident response policies. The WHOIS data shows a recently registered domain consistent with the event timeline but with an unclear registrant name, slightly reducing trust. No signs of malicious content or blocking mechanisms were detected. Overall, the site is professionally designed and functional with moderate security posture and limited privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in policy publication, security headers, and registrant transparency would enhance 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

9 findings 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 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 ISL 2025 Congress website operates in the healthcare conference sector, targeting a niche audience of lymphology professionals globally. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus and international scope. The business model is event-driven, generating revenue likely through registrations, sponsorships, and exhibition participation. The site demonstrates a clear partnership with the International Society of Lymphology, leveraging recognized leadership figures to build credibility. Growth indicators include detailed event planning and multi-language support. The partnership ecosystem is limited in visible scope but includes external CDN and UI libraries. Operationally, the site is focused on content delivery and user engagement for event participation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (such as CSP, X-Frame-Options), and published privacy or incident response policies indicates gaps in defense-in-depth and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt reduces transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for informational content but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  5. Increase transparency of registrant information or use a verified registrant name to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported frontend technology stack with Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and various UI enhancement libraries. It loads resources from reputable CDNs ensuring good availability. The site is mobile responsive and includes animations and interactive elements for user engagement. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or static site approach, which may limit scalability. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt in security hardening. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or structured data detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present through responsive design.
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.
