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

SEMI is a global industry association dedicated to advancing the semiconductor supply chain through collaboration, advocacy, standards, and workforce development. The organization serves a broad audience of semiconductor professionals and companies worldwide, providing key services such as market intelligence, events, and technical communities. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to industry stakeholders. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like Slick Carousel and jQuery, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. While WHOIS data is unavailable due to a malformed query response, the website's branding, content quality, and linked partner domains support its legitimacy. However, the absence of published security policies and incident response contacts suggests areas for improvement in transparency and security readiness. Overall, SEMI's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and security suitable for an enterprise-level industry association, with recommendations to enhance security disclosures and incident response information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

  • 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

SEMI holds a leading position as a global semiconductor industry association, fostering innovation and collaboration across the electronics supply chain. Its business model centers on membership services, advocacy, standards development, and educational programs. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, market research sales, and standards licensing. The organization targets semiconductor manufacturers, suppliers, and professionals globally, with regional presence in China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and North America. SEMI's extensive partnership ecosystem and comprehensive service offerings indicate strong market influence and growth potential within the technology and manufacturing sectors.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Enhancing these areas would improve incident readiness and stakeholder trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but can benefit from formalized security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data availability or transparency to improve domain trust verification.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, utilizing modern front-end libraries such as Slick Carousel and jQuery for interactive elements. It employs cloud-based font hosting and CDN services for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Meta tags and Open Graph data are properly configured for SEO and social sharing. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in hosting provider transparency and caching strategies. Technical debt appears low, with opportunities to enhance security disclosures and incident response mechanisms.
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.
