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

The Climate Champions website represents a UN-backed initiative fiscally sponsored by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Inc. It focuses on mobilizing global climate action by connecting decision-makers across industries, cities, and communities. The site offers comprehensive information on campaigns, frameworks, events, and resources aligned with the Paris Agreement goals. The target audience includes businesses, investors, governments, and climate stakeholders worldwide. The business model is non-profit and advocacy-driven, with a medium-sized organizational footprint and a strong global presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, CookieYes for consent management, Weglot for translations, and Cloudflare for security and performance. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, has good SEO practices, and loads quickly. Accessibility features are present but could be enhanced further. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Cloudflare Bot Management, and implements anti-forgery cookies. Cookie consent is granular and GDPR compliant. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations. The domain registration details align well with the stated business and sponsorship, indicating legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing transparency around data protection officers and incident response.

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

7 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Climate Champions holds a strong market position as a UN-affiliated climate leadership initiative with global reach. Its competitive advantage lies in its official backing, comprehensive campaigns like Race to Zero and Race to Resilience, and partnerships with influential organizations. The business model is centered on advocacy, resource provision, and stakeholder engagement rather than commercial revenue. Target customers include corporate leaders, investors, governments, and community organizations focused on climate action. Growth indicators include active event participation, social media engagement, and ongoing campaign development. The partnership ecosystem includes UN bodies and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, enhancing credibility and resource access.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare Bot Management, and anti-forgery protections. Cookie consent mechanisms are robust and GDPR compliant. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness. The site would benefit from formalizing these aspects to improve incident handling readiness and stakeholder trust. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could be enhanced with documented policies and public communication channels for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security incident response team.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack leveraging Google Tag Manager for analytics, CookieYes for cookie consent management, and Weglot for multilingual support. Hosting and security are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and bot protection. The site uses valid HTML5 and CSS3 with responsive design principles, resulting in excellent mobile optimization and fast loading times. No explicit CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid supply chain vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security documentation.
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.
