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

LuxDev is the Luxembourg agency for development cooperation, operating for over 45 years across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. The agency focuses on sustainable development, capacity building, climate action, digitalisation, and finance impact projects. Their market position is strong as a government agency with a medium-sized operational footprint and a clear mission to eradicate poverty and promote inclusive development. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and multilingual support. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 with modern JavaScript frameworks like Alpine.js and uses Matomo for privacy-respecting analytics. Hosting is managed via EuroDNS nameservers, and the site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly disclosed. Overall, the security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie and privacy policies. The absence of direct contact information in the provided content is noted but may exist elsewhere. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the agency's legitimacy and history. Strategically, LuxDev should consider publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts to enhance trust further. Continuous monitoring of security headers and vulnerability disclosures will maintain a strong security 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

6 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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 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';…

  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

LuxDev operates as a government development cooperation agency with a focus on sustainable development projects in multiple countries. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience, government backing, and diversified project portfolio including climate action, digitalisation, and finance impact. The business model is service-oriented, delivering capacity building and project implementation funded by Luxembourg and partner governments. Target customers include governments, NGOs, and local communities. Growth indicators include active projects in 16+ countries and over 600 collaborators worldwide. The agency maintains a strong partnership ecosystem visible through social media and project collaborations. Operationally, the website supports transparency and outreach but could improve direct contact availability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No direct evidence of advanced security frameworks or incident response policies was found, indicating room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Drupal 10 suggests regular security updates. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is a gap. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and disclose an incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and explicitly set security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Enhance contact information availability on the website for better user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging Alpine.js for interactivity and Chart.js for data visualization. It uses Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious traffic analysis. Hosting is managed through EuroDNS nameservers. The site is well-optimized for mobile and desktop with responsive design and fast loading times. The technical implementation follows modern web standards with proper meta tags and SEO optimization. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses CDN for static assets, improving performance and reliability. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports the agency's digital presence effectively.
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.
