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

Ayush Valley Foundation is a small non-profit organization founded in 2020 in India, dedicated to promoting Ayurveda and wellness through education, research, publications, and events. The website serves as a platform for professionals and scholars to collaborate and share knowledge, with a focus on bilateral exchange of Ayurveda practices globally. Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 4, jQuery, and various plugins, hosted likely via GoDaddy. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks a CMS and advanced accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy and cookie policies exist but lack explicit consent mechanisms. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are published, only a contact form. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve security and privacy compliance.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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
    • 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';…

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The foundation occupies a niche position in the Ayurveda and wellness sector, targeting professionals, scholars, and organizations interested in traditional Indian medicine. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on knowledge dissemination and community building through webinars, research, and telemedicine services. The organization demonstrates growth potential through active event hosting and social media engagement. The lack of direct contact details and limited security policies suggest areas for operational maturity improvement. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website has a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy is published, which could hinder trust and readiness in case of security events. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces moderate tracking but no explicit user consent mechanism is present. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of popular front-end libraries and plugins such as Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Revolution Slider, indicating a modern but somewhat traditional web stack. Hosting is inferred to be via GoDaddy based on WHOIS data. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider elements and multiple external scripts. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to improve security posture.
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.
