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

The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network (IFPN) operates a website providing free and confidential foreclosure prevention counseling and assistance to Indiana homeowners. The site serves as a portal for accessing state-funded programs such as the Indiana Homeowner Assistance Fund and Hardest Hit Fund, offering resources and referrals to HUD-certified counselors. The target audience is primarily Indiana residents facing mortgage difficulties. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, reflecting a medium-sized government/non-profit entity. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, the Foundation framework, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. It is mobile optimized and performs moderately well. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, but the site’s content and contact details strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves an essential public service function.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…
  3. 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

The IFPN is positioned as a key statewide resource for foreclosure prevention in Indiana, leveraging partnerships with state agencies and HUD. Its business model is government-funded assistance and counseling, targeting homeowners at risk of foreclosure. The website supports outreach and education, with a network of certified counselors and program information. The presence of social media links and tracking pixels indicates active engagement and marketing efforts. The lack of WHOIS transparency is mitigated by official program references and contact information. The organization benefits from partnerships with IHDA and HUD, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The presence of multiple third-party tracking pixels without a cookie consent banner raises privacy compliance concerns. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government-affiliated informational site but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Review and minimize third-party tracking to reduce privacy risks and improve user trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Foundation front-end framework with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Zepto. It uses Adobe Typekit for fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and tracking pixels from multiple ad networks and analytics providers. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML. The site uses modern web standards but lacks some SEO and accessibility optimizations. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended.
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.
