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

6 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 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 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

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

CK Public Health operates as a government entity providing essential public health services to the Chatham-Kent region. Its business model is service-oriented, funded by government budgets, focusing on community health promotion, disease prevention, and health equity. The website reflects a well-established organization founded in 2011, with a medium-sized operational scale. The agency maintains active social media channels to engage the community and disseminate information. The partnership ecosystem includes standard service providers like Iubenda for compliance and Google for analytics. The organization’s competitive advantage lies in its official government status and comprehensive local health resources. Growth indicators include regular news updates and community engagement features. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital security and transparency could further enhance public trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or updates. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap, and the lack of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is well-managed with cookie consent and privacy policies via Iubenda. However, the absence of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency. Incident response readiness cannot be assessed due to lack of contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government health website but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formal security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Add additional security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options explicitly.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and libraries to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, using a combination of plugins including MonsterInsights for Google Analytics, Iubenda for cookie and privacy compliance, Google Language Translator, Max Mega Menu, and SnapWidget for Instagram integration. The site uses jQuery and loads fonts from Google Fonts. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is Register.ca Inc. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and enable DNSSEC. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization in security practices.
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.
