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"

    • 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. 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

The organization positions itself as a sustainability advocate within the academic community, leveraging its affiliation with oikos International. Its business model is non-profit and community-driven, focusing on education and engagement rather than commercial revenue. The website content and structure support this mission, with clear messaging and calls to action for involvement. The lack of phone numbers or physical addresses suggests a primarily digital or volunteer-driven operation. The use of standard WordPress plugins and hosting by IONOS SE indicates a cost-effective infrastructure. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and Content-Security-Policy headers are notable gaps. No incident response or security policy pages are published, which could hinder transparency in case of security events. The cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could be enhanced with additional DNS and HTTP security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Consider adding more comprehensive contact information to enhance business credibility.

Key observations

  1. Website is a WordPress-based non-profit student organization site focused on sustainability.
  2. Good use of SEO and structured data for enhanced search presence.
  3. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented and GDPR compliant.
  4. No signs of malicious content or security blocking.
  5. Technical stack is modern but could improve DNS security with DNSSEC.
  6. No explicit terms of service or security policy pages found.
  7. Contact information is limited to email and contact forms; no phone or physical address found.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It employs a cookie consent plugin compliant with GDPR. Hosting is provided by IONOS SE, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with caching plugins evident. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features appear basic. The site uses external resources like Google Fonts and YouTube embeds, which are consent-blocked until user approval. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but enabling DNSSEC and security headers would modernize the security posture.
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.
