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

ABNMO - Associação Brasileira de Neuromielite Óptica is a Brazilian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting patients with Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO/NMOSD), promoting awareness, education, and research. The website serves as a hub for community engagement, offering blogs, podcasts, videos, and event information to patients, families, and healthcare professionals. It positions itself as a specialized association within the healthcare sector in Brazil, relying on donations and community participation to fund its initiatives. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and integrates modern SEO and accessibility tools such as Yoast SEO and Google Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced, though some security headers are not explicitly detected, and privacy compliance could be improved by adding explicit policies. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and vulnerability disclosure reduces compliance and transparency. WHOIS data is privacy protected or unavailable, which is common for non-profits, but the website content and branding indicate legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is a credible and professional platform for its target audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve compliance and user trust.

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. 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

  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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

ABNMO operates in a niche healthcare segment focused on rare neurological diseases, specifically Neuromyelitis Optica. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus and community-driven model. The organization leverages digital content and events to engage stakeholders and raise funds. The business model is non-profit, relying on donations and volunteer participation. The website reflects a small-sized organization with a strong local presence in Brazil. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. Growth indicators include active content updates and social media engagement. The organization maintains a professional online presence, supporting its mission and expanding awareness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of WordPress plugins and modern frameworks suggests regular maintenance, though explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could be improved. There is no evidence of a formal incident response or vulnerability disclosure process, which is a compliance gap. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be enhanced with better policy disclosures and security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance incident response contact information visibility on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization and Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. It uses several performance and accessibility plugins, including WP Rocket and Pojo Accessibility. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and YouTube. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. There is room for improvement in security header implementation and privacy compliance. The technical stack is well-suited for the organization's size and mission, providing a stable and user-friendly experience.
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.
