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.

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.

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.

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

A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
The page loads a script from a compromised source

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization operates on a non-profit model relying on memberships, donations, and volunteer participation. Its market position is strong within the local environmental sector, offering a variety of services including events, education, and conservation projects. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides trust signals such as privacy policies and social media presence. There is no indication of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The business intelligence suggests a focused, community-driven approach with growth potential through increased digital engagement.
Security posture
The website uses HTTPS and employs popular WordPress plugins, which are regularly updated. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. Forms are protected with nonce tokens in AJAX calls, indicating some security awareness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and policies.
Recommendations
Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security.
Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Include incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes
The website is built on WordPress 6.7.4 using the GeneratePress theme and several plugins including The Events Calendar and Mailchimp integration. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and loads fonts from Google Fonts. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
