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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
826michigan operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on youth literacy and writing skills development. Their business model relies on donations, volunteer engagement, and community partnerships. The organization targets students, families, teachers, and volunteers in Southeast Michigan. Their market position is that of a regional leader in educational support programs, leveraging partnerships with national organizations and donation platforms like Classy. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with clear mission-driven goals and community impact. The presence of Robot Supply Co. adds a unique retail component supporting their educational mission. The organization maintains active social media channels and provides comprehensive program and volunteer information, indicating strong community engagement and growth potential.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Forms are handled securely using Gravity Forms, a reputable WordPress plugin. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent, but no explicit data retention policies or data protection officer contact information are found. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and incident readiness disclosures to improve trust and compliance.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Gravity Forms, Font Awesome, and Google Analytics. It uses standard SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident but potential for further optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, with adaptive navigation menus and layout. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses Google Tag Manager and MonsterInsights for analytics integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced 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.
