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

AN E+ JA is the Portuguese National Agency responsible for managing and promoting the Erasmus+ program, focusing on youth education, mobility, and strategic partnerships. The agency serves young people, youth organizations, and educational institutions, positioning itself as a key governmental entity facilitating European Union youth initiatives in Portugal. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, providing comprehensive information and resources related to Erasmus+ and youth policies. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, ShareThis, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is well-structured with good SEO practices and mobile optimization, although accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses CSRF tokens in forms, and applies best practices such as rel="noopener noreferrer" on external links and CAPTCHA for form submissions. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact, which are recommended for improved security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and aligned with its governmental mission. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts to sustain a robust security and compliance posture.

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

10 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 233 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

AN E+ JA operates as a government agency managing the Erasmus+ program in Portugal, targeting youth and educational organizations. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and direct connection to EU programs, enabling it to provide authoritative information and support. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on program management, information dissemination, and stakeholder engagement. Revenue streams are likely government-funded. The agency maintains partnerships with European institutions and promotes strategic collaborations. Growth indicators include active event organization and continuous content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes EU portals and youth networks, reinforcing its market presence and operational effectiveness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection, and CAPTCHA integration. The absence of security headers and a formal security policy or incident response contact represents gaps that could be exploited or reduce user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Fonts for typography, FontAwesome for icons, and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Tag Manager. The presence of CSRF tokens and CAPTCHA indicates attention to form security. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but appears custom-built or lightly CMS-based. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for enhancements in security and performance.
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.
