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

11 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 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';…

  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

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 organization operates as a regional leader in dementia care support, leveraging a network of 60 members and 30 years of service history. Its business model is non-profit and collaborative, focusing on education, resource sharing, and community engagement. The website reflects a clear target audience of healthcare and community service providers. The lack of direct contact emails and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and compliance. The use of Google Tag Manager and Userback indicates active engagement in analytics and user feedback. The organization appears stable with consistent domain registration and no suspicious indicators.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain locking via EPP status flags, reducing risks of domain hijacking. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security headers beyond standard HTTPS were detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published. The site uses modern plugins and scripts without visible vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance security transparency.
  5. Provide direct contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with Elementor 3.30.3 and several supporting plugins including Jet Engine, Jet Elements, Ultimate Elementor, and Download Monitor. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Userback for user feedback. The site is optimized for mobile with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with caching via WP Rocket. Accessibility is basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended.
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.
