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

The Terrific Project website represents a European initiative focused on advancing the packaging sector through innovative bio-based and circular economy solutions. The project aims to develop and demonstrate sustainable packaging materials and processes that contribute to ecological transition and resource efficiency. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Elementor and includes multimedia content such as videos and images to communicate its mission and progress. Social media integration is present with links to Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, enhancing outreach and engagement. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and privacy-conscious tools such as Cookiebot for consent management and Matomo for analytics, reflecting a commitment to GDPR compliance and user privacy. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, leveraging Yoast SEO plugin and structured data for enhanced search visibility. However, explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages are not detected in the provided content, representing an area for improvement. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities are detected, indicating a generally secure posture. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, registered through a reputable registrar without privacy protection, aligning with the project's transparency. Overall, the website is a credible and professional platform for the Terrific Project, with strong technical foundations and privacy practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and providing clear contact information to improve trust and compliance further.

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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Terrific Project positions itself as a key player in the bio-based packaging and circular economy sector within the EU. Its business model revolves around research, development, and demonstration of sustainable packaging solutions, targeting industry stakeholders, policymakers, and sustainability advocates. The project leverages partnerships and a consortium approach, although specific partner domains beyond social media are not explicitly listed. The use of flagship products and multipurpose biorefineries indicates a focus on innovation and scalability. The website content and structure support a medium-sized project with a clear mission and growth potential in the green transition market segment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics via Matomo. Cookie consent is managed through Cookiebot, providing granular user control over cookie categories. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts suggest room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries are detected. The site does not appear to have a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and security readiness. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a research project website but could be enhanced with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages detailing data protection and security practices.
  3. Implement and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure information.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide explicit contact information including security and general inquiry emails or phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported CMS infrastructure. It integrates Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site uses hosted video content and responsive images for multimedia presentation. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit contact forms or data protection officer information. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the registrar is Key-Systems GmbH, a reputable entity. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for security and compliance enhancements.
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.
