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

The website www.midwives2026.org serves as the official online presence for the 34th ICM Triennial Congress, a professional event focused on midwifery and healthcare. It provides information about the congress held in Lisbon, Portugal, targeting midwives and healthcare professionals globally. The site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization and CookieYes for cookie consent management. Analytics are conducted via Microsoft Clarity, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though explicit privacy and terms of service policies are absent. The lack of visible contact information and WHOIS data limits full business verification but does not detract from the site's professional presentation.

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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

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 site positions itself as a niche event platform within the healthcare sector, specifically targeting midwifery professionals. Its business model revolves around event promotion and information dissemination for the triennial congress. The absence of detailed business registration or contact data suggests a focus on event attendees rather than direct commercial transactions. The use of modern CMS and SEO tools supports effective outreach. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related or subsidiary domains are identified. Growth indicators are limited to event updates and cookie consent transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers present. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR principles, offering users control over cookie categories. However, the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages represents a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a security.txt file or explicit incident response contacts, which could improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an informational event site but with room for compliance enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Develop and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and site usage policies.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information, including security and general inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with the Divi theme, ensuring flexibility and ease of content management. SEO is supported by Yoast plugin, and cookie management is handled by CookieYes, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Analytics via Microsoft Clarity provide user interaction insights. Performance appears moderate with standard optimization practices. Mobile responsiveness is good, and the site uses modern web fonts and scripts. No hosting provider details were found, and WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some compliance documents could pose regulatory risks.
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.
