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

The Alabama Transgender Rights Action Coalition (ALTRAC) is a small non-profit advocacy organization focused on protecting and advancing transgender rights within Alabama. Their website serves as an informational hub providing legislative updates, community mobilization opportunities, and ways to engage with local advocacy efforts. The organization targets transgender individuals and allies in Alabama, positioning itself as a regional advocacy group with a clear mission and community focus. Technically, the website is built using standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, hosted likely via Porkbun LLC based on registrar and nameserver data. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with a clean and consistent design. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks, indicating a relatively simple technical infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site lacks several best practices such as DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit SSL/TLS configuration details. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which impacts compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The domain registration uses privacy protection, which is justified given the organization's advocacy nature. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected, but improvements are recommended to enhance security posture and privacy compliance. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy, and relevant to its audience but would benefit from enhanced security measures and formalized privacy documentation 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

7 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

ALTRAC operates as a focused non-profit advocacy group within the LGBTQ+ rights sector, specifically targeting transgender rights in Alabama. Its market position is regional with a grassroots approach, leveraging community engagement and legislative advocacy. The business model centers on information dissemination, mobilization, and email-based outreach rather than commercial revenue streams. The organization appears recently founded in 2023, consistent with domain registration data. Partnerships are limited but include links to actionnetwork.org, a known advocacy platform. Growth indicators include active legislative monitoring and community calls to action. The organization maintains a clear and consistent brand identity aligned with its mission.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but has notable gaps. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces resilience against DNS attacks and common web vulnerabilities. Lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is appropriate for the organization's nature. Overall, the site does not expose sensitive data and uses HTTPS (assumed), but improvements in security headers, policy documentation, and vulnerability management are recommended to strengthen security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Conduct a security audit to verify SSL/TLS configuration and ensure HTTPS enforcement across the site.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, without detectable CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting appears to be managed through Porkbun LLC, inferred from registrar and nameserver data. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks modern security enhancements such as DNSSEC and security headers, which represent technical debt and potential risk. There is an opportunity to modernize the infrastructure by adopting security best practices and possibly integrating a CMS or framework for easier content management and scalability.
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.
