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

12 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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 organization operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on community support and awareness for multiple sclerosis. Its business model relies on memberships, donations, and volunteer engagement. The website reflects a strong regional market position with partnerships to national and Flemish multiple sclerosis leagues, enhancing its credibility and reach. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, donations, and fundraising events. The presence of e-shops and sponsorships indicates diversified support channels. The organization targets patients, families, healthcare professionals, and the general public interested in multiple sclerosis. The website content and structure support these goals effectively.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure hosting via OVH, a reputable provider. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement in security maturity. Privacy policies and cookie policies are present, but a cookie consent mechanism is missing, which is important for GDPR compliance. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates moderate user tracking, which should be transparently managed. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit but could benefit from enhanced security headers, incident response documentation, and improved privacy compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Fonts for frontend presentation. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, and Google Calendar API is integrated for event management. The site is hosted by OVH, a known hosting provider, and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The design is responsive and includes accessibility features such as font size adjustments and contrast toggles. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus and content sections. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security headers are missing which is a technical gap.
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.
