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

11 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

  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 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

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

The organization leverages a nonprofit business model focused on certification and advocacy. Their revenue streams likely include certification fees, workshops, and partnerships. The target audience includes businesses seeking B Corp certification and stakeholders interested in sustainable business practices. The website demonstrates a mature partnership ecosystem, including the global B Lab network and various certified B Corps. Growth indicators include a large number of certified companies in the region and active community engagement. Strategic observations highlight the organization's role as a regional leader in economic systems change and sustainability certification.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses modern security-related scripts such as Google Tag Manager. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with no visible privacy or cookie policies on the homepage. The security posture is moderate, with room for improvement in transparency and technical security controls. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt is noted. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance trust through better published security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a visible security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Vue.js for form wizards, Algolia for search, and integrations with Google Tag Manager and Freshdesk for support. The site uses Yoast SEO for optimization and Pardot for marketing automation. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and improved privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting appears stable with Melbourne IT as registrar and Netregistry name servers. Overall, the technical setup supports a professional and functional user experience.
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.
