Priority findings

1 finding 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

PNA holds a strong market position as a national nursing association with international affiliations, including membership in the International Council of Nurses. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history, comprehensive member services, and active event calendar. The organization leverages partnerships with government and regulatory bodies, as evidenced by links to the Professional Regulation Commission and Department of Health. The website supports growth through digital membership portals and educational offerings, targeting healthcare professionals seeking professional development and community engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections, indicating a baseline security posture. However, it lacks advanced security headers, DNSSEC, and explicit privacy or security policies, which are critical for compliance and protection against modern threats. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and readiness. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing dedicated security contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the T3 Framework, incorporating common JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. Hosting is provided by Arvixe, with domain registration dating back to 2003, consistent with the organization's history. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
