Block Club Chicago · Media · United States
Medium risk. 9 critical or high findings in Email security, Security headers and 2 other checks.
Block Club Chicago operates an e-commerce website selling branded merchandise related to its local neighborhood newsroom. The site targets local Chicago residents and supporters of community journalism, offering products such as shirts, hoodies, totes, posters, and prints. The business is positioned as a niche local media merchandise provider with a small company size and a focus on community engagement. Technically, the website is built on the Weebly platform, utilizing standard web technologies including jQuery, Facebook Pixel, and Google Analytics. The site is mobile optimized with a moderate performance profile. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance documentation. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and the site uses an outdated jQuery version which could pose security risks. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
