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

Anheddau is a well-established non-profit organization based in northwest Wales, focused on providing social care and support services to adults with various support needs. The website reflects a professional and community-oriented approach, emphasizing empowerment, independence, and lifelong learning for both service users and staff. The organization has a strong local presence and a history dating back to 1989, positioning it as a trusted provider in the social care sector. Technically, the website is hosted on the Google Sites platform, leveraging Google Fonts and APIs, which ensures reliable hosting and moderate performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, though accessibility features could be enhanced. SEO and metadata are basic but sufficient for the site's purpose. No advanced frameworks or CMS platforms are detected beyond Google Sites. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration irregularities raise concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content itself appears legitimate and professional. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy for its intended audience but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security hardening, and clearer contact information to enhance credibility and regulatory adherence.

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

5 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  4. 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

Anheddau operates in the non-profit social care sector, serving adults with support needs in northwest Wales. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence and deep community integration. The business model focuses on delivering high-quality support services, skills development, and workforce training. Revenue streams likely include government funding, grants, and donations. The target customer segment includes adults with disabilities and related support needs, as well as their families and local communities. Growth indicators include sustained operation since 1989 and ongoing commitment to service quality. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the website, and no external business partners or subsidiaries are identified. Strategic observations suggest a focus on local impact and service excellence rather than commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled, ensuring secure data transmission. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, limiting the organization's ability to manage security incidents effectively. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information, including security and incident response contacts.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Hosting is provided by Google, ensuring reliable uptime and moderate performance. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. SEO optimization is basic, with proper meta tags and Open Graph tags present. No advanced frameworks or CMS platforms are detected.

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.
