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

The Washington DC Calligraphers Guild is a non-profit organization established in 1976 that promotes the appreciation and practice of calligraphy. The website serves as an informational portal for beginners, skilled calligraphers, and those interested in hiring calligraphy services. The organization targets a niche audience passionate about calligraphy and related arts. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt framework and standard web technologies. While the site is professionally designed and mobile-optimized, it lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security headers and incident response information are not evident, indicating room for improvement in security posture. The absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully assess domain legitimacy, but the website content and branding suggest a legitimate entity. Overall, the site provides good content quality and user experience but requires enhancements in privacy, security, and transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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

7 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 Guild operates as a small non-profit focused on education and community engagement in calligraphy. Its business model revolves around membership and service offerings such as hiring calligraphers. The market position is niche and localized, targeting enthusiasts and professionals in the Washington DC area. The website does not reveal revenue streams or partnerships explicitly. The lack of contact details and privacy policies may hinder user engagement and trust. The organization could benefit from clearer business information and enhanced digital presence to strengthen credibility and growth potential.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and standard Wix security features but lacks explicit security headers and policies. No forms or data collection mechanisms were detected, reducing immediate risk exposure. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and security best practices indicates a low to moderate security maturity level. The site should implement security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and provide incident response contacts to improve compliance and user trust. Regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies are recommended to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  4. Conduct a WHOIS record update or privacy disclosure to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using Wix Thunderbolt framework and standard JavaScript polyfills for compatibility. It is mobile-optimized with good design quality and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, typical of Wix-hosted sites. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking services. Technical debt appears low but the absence of security headers and privacy mechanisms suggests areas for modernization and compliance improvements.
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.
