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

Adventist.org represents the digital face of the General Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists, a major global religious non-profit. The organization leverages its website to disseminate doctrine, provide spiritual support, and coordinate humanitarian efforts worldwide. Its market position is strong within the religious sector, supported by a large global membership and extensive institutional network including schools, hospitals, and relief agencies. Revenue streams are primarily donation-based and through institutional support. The target audience includes individuals seeking religious education, spiritual guidance, and community connection. Partnerships with related domains like adventistlocator.org and adra.org enhance service delivery and outreach. The website's professional presentation and comprehensive content reflect a strategic focus on engagement and trust-building.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, domain status protections against unauthorized changes, and use of Cloudflare services for DNS and likely CDN. No DNSSEC is enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, though no explicit incident response or security policy pages were found. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with formalized security documentation and DNSSEC implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy for improved protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site loads quickly and is fully responsive with excellent mobile optimization. Accessibility features are present, supporting a wide audience. The use of HubSpot and Google Tag Manager indicates mature marketing and analytics capabilities. No CMS like WordPress or Drupal was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management approach. The technical infrastructure is robust with minimal technical debt, though enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security headers would further reduce risk.
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.
