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

The International Anti-Fur Coalition (IAFC) operates as a global non-profit animal rights advocacy group focused on ending the fur trade through activism, education, and legislative efforts. Founded in 2006, it unites over 50 organizations worldwide to organize campaigns and promote anti-fur legislation. The website serves as an informational and campaign platform, targeting animal rights supporters and the general public concerned with ethical fashion. Technically, the website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging standard web technologies such as jQuery, Facebook SDK, and embedded YouTube content. The site is mobile-optimized with moderate performance and basic SEO and accessibility features. Analytics and tracking are implemented via Shopify Analytics and Facebook Pixel, indicating moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha for form protection, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for non-profit organizations. No critical vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good content quality and business credibility but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

IAFC holds a strong position as a global coalition in the animal rights and anti-fur advocacy sector. Its business model is non-profit and campaign-driven, relying on coalition efforts and public engagement. The organization leverages social media and legislative partnerships to amplify its impact. Revenue streams are not evident on the site, consistent with a non-profit model. The target audience includes activists, ethical consumers, and policymakers. The website's use of Shopify suggests some e-commerce or merchandise sales, though no products are currently featured. The partnership ecosystem includes animal rights organizations and legislative bodies, particularly noted in Israel. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced transparency and privacy compliance to support growth and donor confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and form protection via hCaptcha is implemented, reducing risk from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options weakens defense-in-depth. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and similar regulations. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, limiting readiness for security events. Tracking technologies are standard but require transparent user consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for informational content but should be enhanced to protect user data and comply with privacy laws.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Shopify, a reliable e-commerce platform, ensuring stable infrastructure and HTTPS support. The tech stack includes jQuery, Facebook SDK, and embedded YouTube videos, which are standard but somewhat dated technologies. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO implementation is minimal, with some meta tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. The site lacks advanced technical SEO and accessibility enhancements. There is no evidence of custom backend frameworks beyond Shopify's platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit site but could benefit from modernization and optimization.
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.
