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

B Lab Global is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the global economy by promoting sustainable business practices through B Corp Certification. The organization operates a global network with regional partners across multiple continents, providing standards, certification, and tools to businesses committed to social and environmental responsibility. Their website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, targeting businesses and stakeholders interested in sustainability and corporate responsibility. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with Contentful as the CMS. It demonstrates good performance, SEO, and accessibility practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy mechanisms like cookie consent and privacy policies in place, though some security headers could be improved and a vulnerability disclosure policy is absent. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and credible image consistent with a large nonprofit entity. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection and does not detract significantly from legitimacy given the extensive partner network and professional presentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and providing incident response contacts to further strengthen trust and 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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

B Lab Global holds a leading position in the nonprofit sector focused on sustainable business certification. Their business model revolves around providing certification standards, educational resources, and a global network to support businesses in becoming B Corps. Revenue streams likely include certification fees, donations, and partnerships. The target customers are businesses seeking to improve social and environmental impact, as well as stakeholders advocating for economic system change. The organization has a broad partnership ecosystem with regional B Lab entities worldwide, enhancing its global reach and influence. Growth indicators include expanding regional offices and increasing certified companies. The website content and testimonials reinforce their market leadership and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and published privacy and security policies. However, explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and absence of incident response contact details represent gaps in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React-based framework (Next.js) and uses Contentful as the CMS, indicating a contemporary and scalable technical infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with structured navigation and SEO-friendly metadata. The use of Font Awesome icons and lazy loading of images contributes to efficient resource loading. No major technical debt or legacy technology was detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and user-friendly digital presence aligned with the organization's mission.
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.
