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

CDN Alliance is a nonprofit organization established in 2020, dedicated to connecting, supporting, and representing the global Content Delivery Network (CDN) industry and community. The website serves as an informational and community hub for CDN professionals and stakeholders, positioning itself as an industry alliance. The business model is nonprofit, focusing on industry collaboration rather than commercial sales. The organization appears to be small in size with a clear focus on the technology sector related to CDN services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging common web technologies such as JavaScript, Google Fonts, and Mailchimp for newsletter management. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring reliable delivery and basic security. The website demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with basic accessibility and SEO practices in place. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes reCAPTCHA for form protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. There is no visible privacy policy or terms of service, which are important for compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the website is professional and relevant to its target audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and clearer contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

4 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 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 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 CDN Alliance operates as a nonprofit entity within the technology sector, specifically targeting the CDN industry community. Its market positioning is that of an industry alliance, aiming to foster collaboration and representation rather than direct commercial transactions. The organization likely relies on membership, partnerships, and community engagement as its primary revenue or support streams. The website content and structure suggest a focus on industry professionals and companies involved in CDN services globally. The presence of a LinkedIn profile indicates engagement with professional networks. The business is relatively young, founded in 2020, and appears to maintain consistent branding and messaging aligned with its nonprofit mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. The use of Google reCAPTCHA indicates an effort to mitigate automated abuse on forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No public security policy or incident response contacts are available, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with additional measures and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Divi theme providing a flexible and visually appealing design. It uses modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, Google Fonts for typography, and integrates third-party services like Mailchimp for email marketing and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, which provides performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements possible through optimization of assets and caching strategies. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced to meet higher standards.
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.
