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
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

LMGI operates as a membership-based guild with a focus on supporting location managers and related professionals in the entertainment industry. Its business model revolves around member services, industry recognition through awards, and providing educational and networking events. The presence of a digital magazine and newsletters indicates ongoing engagement with its audience. Partnerships with domains like app.lmgi.org for member management and digital.copcomm.com for magazine hosting demonstrate a structured ecosystem. The organization maintains a moderate size and a strong market position within its niche.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain registration locks, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism highlights areas for improvement. The Google Analytics plugin is installed but not configured, which may pose privacy compliance concerns. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or data protection officer information is available. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to reflect GDPR and other privacy regulations compliance.
  4. Configure or remove unused analytics plugins to avoid unnecessary data collection and potential privacy issues.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and several plugins including Yoast SEO, Instagram Feed, and AdRotate Professional. It uses modern front-end libraries such as Bootstrap 4.5.2 and Cropper.js, and jQuery for scripting. The site is hosted likely via GoDaddy, as indicated by the registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and some security best practices. The Google Analytics plugin is present but not configured, indicating potential technical debt or incomplete setup.
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.
