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

RUMIGEN is a European research project focused on improving ruminant breeding through advanced genomic and epigenomic approaches. Coordinated by INRAE and involving 18 partners across multiple European countries, the project aims to develop new breeding strategies to help livestock adapt to climate change. The website serves as a dissemination platform for project outputs, training, and stakeholder engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor, with integrated analytics and cookie consent management, reflecting a moderate to good level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent, though some security headers and policies could be enhanced. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, supporting its role as an academic and research communication tool.

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

5 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention rumigen.eu, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for rumigen.eu right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The project operates as a collaborative consortium funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program, targeting researchers, breeders, and stakeholders in livestock genetics. Its business model is research and knowledge dissemination, with no commercial sales. The presence of multiple academic partners and EU funding positions it well within the European research ecosystem. The website supports outreach through newsletters, social media, and publications, indicating active engagement and growth potential. No direct commercial or transactional services are offered, consistent with its research focus.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating compliance with basic security and privacy standards. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of Matomo analytics suggests privacy-conscious tracking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder, leveraging jQuery and various plugins for enhanced functionality such as custom Twitter feeds and GDPR cookie management. The presence of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses lazy loading for images and background slideshows, improving load times. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security headers and advanced accessibility features could be improved.
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.
