Medium risk. 8 critical or high findings in Email security, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

61/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The Brain Health Center of the Rockies is a small non-profit organization focused on brain health education, community engagement, and support for patients with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica. Their website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring event information, educational resources, and connections to healthcare providers. The technical infrastructure is modern and mobile-optimized, leveraging common web technologies and APIs. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks important security headers and privacy compliance documentation, which are areas for improvement. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for this type of organization. Overall, the website is trustworthy and serves its community well but should enhance privacy and security transparency.

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

8 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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, targeting patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals interested in brain health. It differentiates itself through community events like the Brain Health Fair and educational programs. The website indicates partnerships or affiliations with reputable institutions and pharmaceutical companies. Revenue streams likely include donations and event sponsorships. The business model is community-centric with a focus on education and support rather than commercial sales. Growth indicators include upcoming programs and active event promotion. The partnership ecosystem includes academic and medical professionals, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Provide clear security and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Maps API for location display and uses Typekit for font management. The site is mobile-optimized and loads resources from reputable CDNs. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing images and scripts. The technical stack is stable and well-supported but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. There is no evidence of custom backend frameworks or complex integrations, consistent with a small non-profit site.
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.
