Risk levelMedium

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

Biblica is a well-established global Bible ministry focused on releasing widely read Scriptures and providing innovative resources to support Bible ministry worldwide. The organization targets a global Christian audience and mission organizations, positioning itself as a leader in the non-profit religious sector. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on WordPress with modern technologies and monitoring tools, offering a professional user experience with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in publishing dedicated security policies and incident response information. The absence of WHOIS registration data introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, but the overall branding and content quality support the organization's credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security and incident response, clarifying domain registration details, and continuing to monitor third-party scripts for vulnerabilities.

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

3 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Biblica operates as a large non-profit entity in the religious sector, with a business model centered on Bible translation, distribution, and ministry support. Its market position is strong due to its long history and global reach. The organization leverages partnerships and social media to extend its mission impact. Revenue streams likely include donations and grants typical for non-profits. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on accessibility and engagement with a broad audience. The use of advanced web technologies and analytics tools suggests a commitment to digital maturity and performance. However, the lack of visible certifications or security policies may be an area for future development to enhance stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and cookie consent compliance aligned with GDPR. The use of New Relic for monitoring indicates proactive performance and error tracking. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. To strengthen security posture, Biblica should consider publishing detailed security and incident response documentation and implementing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. Regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins are recommended to mitigate supply chain risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and consistent with organizational identity.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and scripts to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor page builder, integrating various plugins and libraries such as Gravity Forms, MediaElement.js, DevExpress, and Graphina Charts. It employs Google Fonts and CDN resources for performance optimization. New Relic Browser monitoring is used for real-time performance and error tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed by optimizing third-party scripts and assets. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional and engaging user experience 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.
