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 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

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

ATRA holds a prominent position as the first national organization exclusively focused on civil justice reform. Their business model revolves around non-profit advocacy and education, leveraging partnerships with state coalitions and maintaining an active presence on major social media platforms. The organization benefits from a consistent brand and professional content that reinforces its credibility. While no direct revenue streams are evident from the website content, their influence in legislative processes and public discourse suggests a strong advocacy ecosystem. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the main site may indicate controlled communication channels, possibly via contact forms or social media.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, and domain status clientTransferProhibited to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site does not publish a security policy or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good for a non-profit advocacy site.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

The design is responsive and mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain is registered with Network Solutions, LLC. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. No critical technical debt or risks were identified in the provided content.
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.
