Risk levelHigh

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

ABEM is a Brazilian non-profit association dedicated to supporting people affected by Multiple Sclerosis through emotional support, information, and awareness campaigns. The organization has a strong presence in Brazil with over 41 years of activity and serves more than 12,000 people directly. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting patients, families, and donors. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, hosted by HostGator Brazil, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks published security policies and incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

12 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  3. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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

ABEM operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on patient support and advocacy for Multiple Sclerosis in Brazil. Their business model relies on donations and community engagement, with payment processing handled via PayPal. The organization has a clear market position as a leading MS association in Brazil, with a medium-sized operational scale. The website content and structure support their mission effectively, providing educational resources, donation options, and contact information. Partnerships with payment processors and use of modern web technologies indicate a mature digital presence. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital marketing and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks critical security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, limiting external reporting channels. The use of third-party plugins and Google services introduces typical risks that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened by adopting best practices in security headers, policy publication, and vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform and obtain user consent for tracking.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with a popular Astra theme and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg plugin, indicating a flexible and extensible platform. Hosting is provided by HostGator Brazil, consistent with the regional focus. The site loads moderate resources including Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager scripts, which are standard for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks include dependency on third-party plugins and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to improve performance 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.
