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

Calvary Chapel East Dulwich is a small community church based in East Dulwich, South London, providing religious services, sermons, and prayer meetings primarily to local community members. The website serves as a digital platform to share sermons, provide information about worship services, and facilitate community engagement. The church has an established presence since 2003, with the domain registered in 2014, reflecting a consistent online presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.9.5 using common frameworks such as Bootstrap and jQuery, with SEO optimization via Yoast plugin. The site is mobile optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Hosting is provided by a UK-based registrar, names.co.uk, ensuring regional consistency. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which could enhance protection. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Contact information is clearly provided, but no incident response or security policy details are available. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional for its purpose but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security practices to reduce risk and increase user trust.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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

Calvary Chapel East Dulwich operates as a non-profit religious organization serving the local community in East Dulwich. Its business model focuses on community engagement through worship services, sermons, and prayer meetings, with revenue likely derived from donations as indicated by the giving modal with bank and PayPal details. The church targets local residents and Christian community members seeking spiritual services. The website supports growth by providing online sermon access and social media integration. The partnership ecosystem includes a web design company (JPPdesigns) and social media platforms. The church maintains a modest but consistent digital presence, with opportunities to expand outreach through enhanced digital marketing and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits preparedness for security incidents. The use of up-to-date WordPress and plugins is positive but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure enough for its low-risk profile but should implement recommended security headers and privacy policies to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and enable HSTS.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a standard WordPress CMS platform with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, ensuring responsive design and compatibility across devices. SEO is enhanced using the Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are tracked via Jetpack Stats. Performance is moderate with some optimization possible. The site uses external CDNs for fonts and scripts, improving load times. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. However, the lack of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization and risk reduction. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small community website but can be improved with security and compliance enhancements.
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.
