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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Cheeverstown operates in the non-profit sector focused on intellectual disability services, targeting individuals and families in South Dublin. Their business model relies on service provision, community engagement, volunteerism, and donations. The organization benefits from partnerships such as Cheeverstown School and funding from the Health Service Executive (HSE). The website demonstrates a consistent brand and clear communication of values and services, supporting growth and community trust. The presence of multiple social media channels and calls to action for volunteering and donations indicate active outreach and engagement strategies. The lack of terms of service and security policy pages suggests areas for organizational maturity improvement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent management platform (CookieHub), indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Forms are present with required fields, reducing risk of incomplete data submissions. However, the absence of security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and no visible security or incident response policies represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The organization should consider publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers to enhance protection and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, jQuery, and Lottie animations for enhanced user experience. CookieHub is used for cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The HTML is valid and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. There is some room for improvement in accessibility and performance optimization. No CMS other than Webflow is detected. The technical infrastructure is suitable for a medium-sized non-profit organization, with opportunities to enhance security and accessibility.
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.
