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

Community Integrated Care is a leading UK social care charity dedicated to supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs. The organization provides a broad range of tailored social care services including supported living, registered care homes, extra care, community support, technology-enabled care, and supported employment. Their market position is strong within the non-profit social care sector, emphasizing quality, innovation, and inclusivity. The website reflects a professional and accessible digital presence with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and active engagement through social media channels. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, and accessibility tools like UserWay. SEO is enhanced through Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for better search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features, though some improvements in security headers could be made. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes anti-bot measures and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a good baseline security posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of visible incident response or security policy pages suggest areas for enhancement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules violation, which slightly reduces trust but the website content and structure support legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed, content-rich, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its target audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would further strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

  • 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

Community Integrated Care operates as a large non-profit social care charity in the UK, focusing on vulnerable populations such as individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs. Their business model centers on providing direct care services, community support, and advocacy. The organization maintains a strong partnership ecosystem including dedicated career portals and fundraising platforms. Their market positioning is that of a leading charity with a comprehensive service offering and a commitment to innovation and social value. Growth indicators include active campaigning, fundraising, and a visible digital presence with regular news updates. Revenue streams likely include government contracts, donations, and grants. The company targets individuals needing social care, their families, commissioners, and potential employees.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant banner with opt-in mechanisms. Accessibility tools are implemented to support compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit organization but could be improved by adding security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security by ensuring CSRF tokens and input validation are in place.
  5. Maintain and monitor WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and avoid naming rule violations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, Google reCAPTCHA, and various UI libraries like Slick Carousel and Fancybox. Accessibility is enhanced via the UserWay widget. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and responsive design. SEO is well-implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Cookie consent is managed by Complianz GDPR plugin. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics, social media, and content delivery. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and missing security headers. Overall, the infrastructure is stable and modern but could benefit from security hardening and performance optimization.
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.
