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

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) operates a professional and comprehensive website serving as the global voice for 16.5 million transport workers across 150 countries. The organization focuses on union representation, workers' rights, equality, and justice within the transport sector. The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and includes multilingual support and social media integration. Privacy and cookie policies are prominently implemented with consent mechanisms, reflecting good privacy compliance. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced, though security headers are not evident and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. WHOIS data is unavailable due to malformed responses, but the website's professional presentation and organizational scope indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed, accessible, and trustworthy, serving a large international non-profit federation.

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 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

ITF is positioned as a leading global federation representing transport workers and affiliated unions. Its business model is non-profit and affiliate-led, focusing on advocacy, campaigns, and union support across multiple transport sectors including civil aviation, dockers, fisheries, railways, and road transport. The organization targets transport workers, unions, and labor rights advocates worldwide. The website content and campaigns indicate active engagement in social justice, safety, and sustainability issues. The federation maintains a strong social media presence and offers multilingual content to serve a global audience. No direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are recommended for improving security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be enhanced with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider adding verified company contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, a modern and widely used content management system, ensuring a robust and scalable platform. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Multilingual support is enabled via GTranslate. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and lazy loading. SEO is supported by canonical links and structured navigation. No hosting provider details were found. The site uses standard web technologies and best practices but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized security documentation.
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.
