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

3 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company targets nonprofit organizations seeking to leverage digital marketing and Google Ad Grants. Their business model is service-based, focusing on grant optimization and marketing strategy. The presence of multiple social media channels and a professional website indicates a growth-oriented approach. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests lead generation via contact forms. The company appears to maintain good domain registration practices and uses reputable hosting and CDN services. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data is present, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a clientTransferProhibited domain status, indicating good domain security management. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. The site includes a cookie consent banner, showing awareness of privacy compliance. Security headers are minimal, with only Content-Security-Policy detected. No security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are publicly available. The use of multiple third-party scripts (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity) introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response contact or security policy to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and Revolution Slider, indicating a mature CMS platform with rich content management capabilities. It uses modern fonts (Lato, Montserrat, Open Sans) and integrates analytics and tracking tools like Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar. Hosting appears to be Cloudways, a reputable managed hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with a cookie consent mechanism in place. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content such as video backgrounds and sliders. Technical debt is low but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and optimizing security headers.
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.
