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

Chronic Disease Awareness Day is a nonprofit advocacy initiative led by Good Days, focusing on raising awareness and improving care access for chronic disease patients across the United States. The organization collaborates with numerous national health advocacy partners to host events, engage communities, and influence policy. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding, event information, and social media integration, targeting patients, advocates, and policymakers. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and SEO tools, hosted via GoDaddy, and employs HTTPS with a good security posture, though improvements like DNSSEC and enhanced security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet regulatory standards. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its advocacy mission effectively.

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

9 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 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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 occupies a significant position in the healthcare advocacy sector, leveraging partnerships with leading nonprofits to amplify its reach and impact. Its business model centers on nonprofit advocacy, event hosting, and policy education, with a focus on chronic disease prevention and treatment. The target audience includes patients, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the general public. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including major health organizations, which enhances credibility and influence. Growth indicators include active event calendars, social media campaigns, and legislative engagement. Revenue streams are likely based on donations and grants, typical for nonprofit entities. Strategic observations suggest continued emphasis on digital engagement and policy advocacy to expand impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, domain status protections, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. The use of third-party plugins and analytics tools introduces potential risks that require ongoing monitoring and patching. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but can benefit from adopting additional best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Renew and fix the Instagram feed access token to restore social media content functionality.
  5. Develop and publish security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using popular plugins including WPBakery Page Builder, Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Instagram Feed Pro. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking and user engagement analysis. The hosting provider is GoDaddy, as indicated by WHOIS data and name servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Some technical debt is indicated by the expired Instagram access token and lack of DNSSEC. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and modern but could benefit from minor updates and security enhancements.
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.
