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. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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

CCI operates as a non-profit entity within the government and community sector, managing city centre initiatives and events that foster local economic growth and urban safety. Its market position is strong locally, supported by partnerships and recognized programs like the North West Business Awards and Purple Flag accreditation. The business model relies on collaboration with stakeholders rather than direct commercial sales, although WooCommerce is installed, possibly for event or merchandise sales not evident on the homepage. The organization maintains active social media channels to engage its audience and promote initiatives. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and community events. The partnership ecosystem includes local businesses and public services, enhancing its influence and operational reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but the lack of a privacy policy is a compliance gap. The use of third-party plugins and scripts necessitates regular security audits to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a non-profit informational site but with opportunities for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce integration, indicating readiness for e-commerce or event management functionalities. It uses common JavaScript libraries like jQuery and includes push notification services via WonderPush. The site is hosted by NameCheap, with domain registration dating back to 2015, consistent with the organization's founding. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The cookie consent is managed by CookieAdmin, ensuring compliance with cookie regulations. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and formal policy pages are needed to improve overall digital maturity.
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.
