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

MDD Transparency operates a website primarily serving as a user login portal, likely for a transparency-related service. The site is built on Drupal 7 with jQuery 2.2.4 and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The domain is well-established, created in 2009, and managed through a reputable registrar with professional DNS configurations. However, the public-facing content is minimal, focusing solely on user authentication without broader informational or marketing content. Technically, the site uses legacy technologies such as Drupal 7 and an older jQuery version, which may pose security and maintenance challenges. The site lacks visible security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Performance and accessibility are basic, with no advanced SEO or mobile optimization features evident. From a security perspective, the site employs standard form protections like POST method and disables autocomplete on password fields, but lacks comprehensive security policies, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which impacts compliance posture negatively. No contact or business information is publicly available, limiting transparency and trust signals. Overall, the website is functional for its login purpose but lacks comprehensive security, privacy, and business transparency features. Strategic improvements in security headers, policy disclosures, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

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

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

The website appears to serve a niche audience requiring authenticated access, likely related to transparency in a specific sector, though no explicit business description is provided. The domain age and DNS setup suggest a stable operation, but the lack of public business information limits competitive analysis. The business model seems focused on controlled access rather than public engagement. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The use of Google Analytics indicates some level of user behavior tracking, but without clear privacy disclosures. Growth indicators and revenue streams cannot be determined from the available data.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate but incomplete. The site uses HTTPS (implied by external HTTPS resources), but no DNSSEC or security headers like CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected. The Drupal 7 CMS and jQuery 2.2.4 versions are outdated and may contain known vulnerabilities if not patched. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, and no security contact channels are visible. The absence of privacy and cookie policies further weakens compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site requires significant security enhancements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Upgrade Drupal CMS and jQuery library to supported, secure versions.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  5. Add visible contact information and security incident response details to enhance transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a legacy CMS, with jQuery 2.2.4 and Google Analytics integration. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics and DNS but does not enable DNSSEC. No advanced security headers or modern frameworks are detected. The login form uses standard POST method with password autocomplete disabled, indicating basic security hygiene. The site would benefit from modernization to improve security, performance, and compliance.
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.
