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

ClimateJustice.global operates as a specialized Mastodon instance dedicated to climate justice groups and activism. It provides decentralized social media services to a niche community focused on environmental and social justice causes. The platform is administered by a named individual and supported technically by the Fediverse Foundation, emphasizing a non-commercial, donation-supported model. The website content is well-structured, transparent about its principles, moderation policies, and community guidelines, targeting activist groups rather than individuals or political parties. Technically, the site leverages Mastodon and modern web technologies such as React and Webpack, hosted by a reputable foundation, ensuring a stable and community-trusted infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms or terms of service. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of trustworthiness and professionalism appropriate for a small non-profit community server.

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.

    • 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

    • 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.

    • 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

The website serves a focused segment within the Fediverse ecosystem, catering exclusively to climate justice activism groups. Its business model is non-profit and community-driven, relying on donations to cover operational costs. The platform's market position is niche but important within the decentralized social media landscape, providing a safe space aligned with left-wing political values and social justice principles. The clear articulation of principles, rules, and moderation policies supports community cohesion and trust. The partnership with the Fediverse Foundation for hosting and technical administration strengthens operational reliability. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking tools aligns with the community-focused ethos. Growth potential is linked to the broader adoption of decentralized social media among activist groups.

Security posture

The security posture of climatejustice.global is generally strong. The site enforces HTTPS, protecting data in transit. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is a potential area for improvement to mitigate risks such as clickjacking or cross-site scripting. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial; while a privacy policy exists, cookie consent mechanisms and terms of service are absent. The moderation policies are clearly stated, supporting community safety and respectful discourse. Overall, the site demonstrates good security hygiene appropriate for a small activist community platform but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities, improving legal clarity.
  5. Consider accessibility improvements to better support users with disabilities and enhance overall user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Mastodon platform, utilizing modern web technologies including React and Webpack for frontend asset management. The infrastructure is hosted by the Fediverse Foundation, indicating a reliable and community-focused hosting environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic but includes essential meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring secure communications. No CMS other than Mastodon is detected. The technical stack is appropriate for the site's purpose as a decentralized social media instance, with opportunities for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
