Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) operates as the leading UN agency coordinating global efforts to reduce disaster risk and promote resilience. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for governments, partners, and communities to access information, research, training, and events related to disaster risk reduction. It reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and multilingual support, targeting a global audience of policymakers and practitioners. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 with modern JavaScript frameworks like React, ensuring a robust and scalable infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities, although explicit security headers should be verified. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protections, which is justified given the organization's nature. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy standards.

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

3 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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

UNDRR holds a unique market position as the UN's lead agency for disaster risk reduction, serving a global audience including governments and civil society. Its business model is non-profit and intergovernmental, focusing on coordination, advocacy, and capacity building rather than commercial activities. The website supports this mission by providing extensive resources, event information, and engagement opportunities. The organization leverages partnerships with other UN bodies and regional platforms, enhancing its influence and reach. The digital presence supports transparency and stakeholder engagement, critical for its mandate. Growth indicators include active event calendars, recent publications, and social media engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests controlled communication channels, typical for UN agencies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. The use of Google Tag Manager and Analytics is transparent and standard for such organizations. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and Content Security Policy are not visibly confirmed and should be audited. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which is a common gap in many institutional websites but recommended for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data is due to privacy protection and does not raise immediate concerns given the official nature of the site. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with published policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding direct, verified contact emails or phone numbers for security and administrative contacts.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy disclosures related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging React 19.0.0 and React-DOM for interactive components. It uses modern JavaScript import maps and external libraries loaded via CDN, including jQuery and Google Tag Manager. Video content is embedded from YouTube with lazy loading and accessibility considerations. The site includes a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. Performance is moderate with some heavy media content but optimized with lazy loading and intersection observers. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with skip links and ARIA labels present. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The site uses PreventionWeb widgets and integrates multiple UN-related domains for content and resources. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, suitable for a large international organization.
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.
