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

The World Federation for Neurorehabilitation (WFNR) is a well-established multidisciplinary non-profit organization dedicated to advancing neurorehabilitation globally through education, research, and clinical practice. The website serves as a professional platform offering resources such as educational programs, research publications, special interest groups, events, and membership services targeted at healthcare professionals and researchers worldwide. The organization maintains a strong market position within the healthcare and education sectors, focusing on neurorehabilitation awareness and collaboration. Technically, the website is built on Unicity CMS 5.19, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery and FontAwesome, and integrates Google Analytics with privacy-conscious configurations such as IP anonymization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional content presentation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good privacy compliance aligned with GDPR. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit incident response policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, indicating a solid security posture. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy standards. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to an invalid domain query, but this does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and continuing to monitor third-party scripts for vulnerabilities.

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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

WFNR operates as a global non-profit federation in the healthcare sector, focusing on neurorehabilitation education and research. Its business model revolves around membership services, professional events, and dissemination of knowledge through publications and special interest groups. The organization targets healthcare professionals, researchers, and institutions worldwide, leveraging partnerships with related organizations and academic publishers. WFNR's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus, international reach, and established reputation. The website supports growth through digital engagement and resource accessibility, although no direct revenue streams are visible on the site. The partnership ecosystem includes congress sites, educational platforms, and journal publishers, enhancing its influence and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent management, and privacy-conscious analytics implementation. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could impact transparency and readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls to mitigate emerging threats and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response documentation to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS (Unicity CMS 5.19) with frontend technologies including jQuery 3.6.0 and FontAwesome 6 for icons. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with privacy-focused configurations. The site uses responsive design techniques and includes multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or errors. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph properties. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern but could be improved with enhanced accessibility and security header implementations. Overall, the infrastructure supports the organization's digital presence effectively with opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
