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 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. 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

The World Nuclear Association holds a leading position in the nuclear energy industry as a non-profit association connecting stakeholders across the nuclear value chain. Its business model centers on membership services, information dissemination, and event organization. The association targets industry professionals, governments, and researchers globally. The website content and structure support these goals effectively, with clear calls to action for membership and event participation. Partnerships with related domains such as World Nuclear University and World Nuclear News enhance its ecosystem. The domain age and registrant information reinforce the organization's legitimacy and long-standing presence in the sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security best practices such as reCAPTCHA integration to prevent spam and abuse. Domain registration includes clientDeleteProhibited, clientTransferProhibited, and clientUpdateProhibited statuses, which protect against unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved to enhance DNS security. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended for transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formalized policies and DNS security enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and member obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates multiple analytics and tracking services such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a mature approach to user behavior analysis and marketing. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by enabling DNSSEC and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
