The European Association of Urology (EAU) operates the website uroweb.org as a leading professional association dedicated to advancing urological care in Europe through education, research, and guideline publication. The organization targets urologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals, providing comprehensive resources and events to support clinical practice and scientific advancement. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a modern tech stack based on Nuxt.js and Vue.js, delivering fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, though improvements are recommended in DNSSEC adoption and security header implementation.

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

6 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. 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

    • 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

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

EAU holds a prominent market position as the authoritative urological association in Europe, leveraging a non-profit business model focused on education, research dissemination, and membership services. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, and educational offerings. The organization maintains a broad partnership ecosystem evident from its social media presence and educational programs. Growth indicators include ongoing congresses and scholarship programs. The website supports these operations with clear navigation and content relevance, reinforcing EAU's leadership and credibility in healthcare.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer restrictions in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policy disclosures are not present, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented on the site. Strengthening these areas would improve risk management and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js with Vue.js), ensuring a responsive and performant user experience across devices. Hosting appears to be managed via TransIP, a reputable provider. The site uses Google Analytics and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. The HTML and CSS are well-structured with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags for social sharing. No CMS like WordPress or Drupal was detected, indicating a custom or framework-based solution. Performance is optimized with module preloading and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA roles and landmarks.
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.
