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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SALUS Network operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on health promotion and environmental sustainability. Its business model revolves around advocacy, networking, and information dissemination rather than commercial activities. The organization leverages digital tools for outreach and fundraising via donations. Market positioning is niche but important within European health policy circles. The presence of social media groups and YouTube content supports community engagement. Growth indicators include active campaigns and events. The lack of visible contact details and WHOIS transparency is typical for privacy reasons but limits direct business intelligence. Partnerships and collaborations are implied but not explicitly detailed on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and nonce usage in AJAX calls. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no clear cookie consent or privacy policy pages detected, posing potential GDPR compliance risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial site but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish a security incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by plugins such as Yoast SEO and GiveWP for donations. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Fonts, with external scripts from GetResponse for marketing and analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms, indicating areas for technical improvement. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
