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. 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

  3. 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

Bandanna Day holds a strong market position as a flagship fundraising campaign with over 30 years of history, leveraging Canteen's brand and network. The business model centers on community engagement and fundraising through bandanna sales, targeting a broad audience including schools, individuals, and businesses. Revenue streams are primarily donations and product sales. The campaign benefits from partnerships with an official online shop and uses multiple digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize outreach. Growth indicators include active registration and donation calls. The campaign operates within the non-profit sector, focusing on youth cancer support services in Australia.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts introduces some privacy considerations. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the site's purpose but could be strengthened with additional headers and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible links on the site.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve incident response transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, OwlCarousel, and Slick Carousel, indicating a modern but somewhat legacy front-end stack. Hosting via Amazon CloudFront CDN supports good performance and scalability. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, enabling extensive user tracking and marketing optimization. The CMS appears to be a custom fundraising platform (Funraisin). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Technical debt is minimal but updating to newer frameworks could improve maintainability. No critical technical risks were identified.
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.
