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

MeteoAlarm is a well-established European early warning dissemination system, aggregating and visualizing severe weather and hydrological warnings from 38 national meteorological and hydrological services. The platform serves as an authoritative source for public safety information across Europe, targeting general citizens and governmental agencies. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, ArcGIS basemaps, and integrates error monitoring via Sentry and analytics via Plausible, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is adequate with clear privacy and cookie policies, though no explicit consent mechanism is observed. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and provides critical public safety information with high content quality and accessibility.

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

7 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  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

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

MeteoAlarm operates as a non-profit governmental/public service entity, providing aggregated severe weather warnings across Europe. Its market position is unique as a centralized platform consolidating data from multiple national services, enhancing public safety and awareness. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The platform supports multiple languages, indicating a broad European target audience. Partnerships with national meteorological agencies and academic/governmental DNS providers underscore its authoritative ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding data sources and enhancing real-time alert capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, no exposed sensitive data, and use of security monitoring tools like Sentry. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent gaps. No critical vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations were detected in the analyzed content. The platform would benefit from implementing a security.txt file and publishing explicit security policies to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is strong for a public service website but can be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  5. Consider publishing contact emails or phone numbers for security and abuse reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with React-based SSR, ArcGIS vector tiles for mapping, and integrates third-party services like Sentry and Plausible Analytics. The infrastructure appears stable and performant with good mobile optimization and accessibility. The DNS setup uses multiple authoritative name servers from academic and governmental institutions, indicating reliable hosting. Minor technical debt includes lack of DNSSEC and no visible CSP headers. The site’s multilingual support is extensive, enhancing user experience across Europe. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for security enhancements.
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.
