53/100

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

New Generations is a European media and cultural platform focused on emerging architectural practices since 2013. It provides a space for knowledge exchange, events, publications, and networking for architects across Europe. The website is built on SilverStripe CMS, uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for user interaction and spam protection. The security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks some security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which impacts compliance. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 platform targets emerging architects and architectural practices in Europe, offering media coverage and cultural engagement. It has a niche market position with over 3,000 practices involved. The business model revolves around media, events, and publications rather than direct commercial sales. The use of Google Analytics indicates moderate user tracking for marketing insights. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via forms. The platform is stable with a domain age consistent with its founding year.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and implements Google reCAPTCHA v2 for spam protection on newsletter forms. However, it lacks explicit HTTP security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are recommended for enhanced security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional security controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add an incident response and vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Consider providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to enhance credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on SilverStripe CMS with Bootstrap 4.3.1 and jQuery 3.1.1, ensuring a modern responsive design. Google reCAPTCHA v2 is integrated for spam prevention on newsletter forms. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for user tracking and analytics. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. The domain is hosted via Register SPA with nameservers register.it. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and improved privacy 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.
