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

ASACP is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to combating online child exploitation through a secure reporting tipline, parental guidance tools, and industry cooperation. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear calls to action for reporting, donations, and membership. Technically, the site uses a modern responsive design with Bootstrap and jQuery, though some legacy analytics scripts remain. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but lacks explicit security headers and privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification but does not detract from the organization's apparent legitimacy based on content and external partnerships. Overall, ASACP presents a credible and professional online presence focused on child protection.

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

8 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

ASACP operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on online child protection. Its business model relies on memberships, sponsorships, and donations facilitated through integrated payment processors like MyPayNet and PayPal. The organization targets the general public, the online adult industry, parents, and government agencies. Partnerships with recognized entities such as the FBI and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children enhance its market position. The website supports community engagement through reporting tools and educational resources, reinforcing its role as a trusted intermediary in child exploitation prevention.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling implied. However, the lack of visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in best practices. The use of legacy analytics scripts and absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies indicate partial compliance with modern privacy standards. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhancements to headers, privacy compliance, and vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Upgrade analytics implementation to use only the latest Google Analytics gtag.js and remove legacy ga.js scripts.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing security policies and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Bootstrap framework with jQuery and integrates multiple external services including Google Analytics, StatCounter, PayPal, and MyPayNet. The site is mobile responsive and uses asynchronous script loading for analytics. Some legacy scripts remain, indicating partial modernization. Performance is moderate with no explicit hosting provider identified. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses modals extensively for forms and information, enhancing user experience. Technical debt is moderate due to legacy analytics and missing security headers.
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.
