Risk levelMedium

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

The Change Climate Project is a non-profit organization focused on climate action through certification and emissions measurement. They have developed the Climate Neutral Certified standard, certifying over 300 companies committed to reducing their carbon footprint. Their key offerings include the Climate Label certification and The BEE, a carbon emissions measurement software platform designed for accessibility and affordability. The organization targets companies seeking credible climate certification and consumers interested in sustainable brands. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools, delivering a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, though improvements are recommended in security headers and incident response transparency. Privacy compliance is good with a clear privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in the climate certification market, though WHOIS data is privacy protected, limiting domain registration transparency.

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 organization operates as a non-profit in the sustainability sector, providing certification and software tools to companies aiming for climate neutrality. Their market position is strong, evidenced by partnerships with well-known brands like REI, Allbirds, and EDF. Revenue likely derives from certification fees and software subscriptions. The target customers include retail brands, suppliers, NGOs, and sustainability professionals. The presence of testimonials and a broad certified brand base indicates growth and industry recognition. The organization maintains active social media channels and a blog to engage stakeholders and promote transparency. Strategic partnerships and a clear certification standard enhance competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible sensitive data leaks. Use of Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel is implemented asynchronously, reducing performance impact. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No dedicated security or incident response pages or contacts were found, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and response. Privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may affect compliance in certain jurisdictions. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with additional headers, incident response transparency, and cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a security.txt file and a dedicated incident response contact page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations regarding user tracking.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide clear organizational information on the website to improve trust and legitimacy signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies including jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses asynchronous loading for analytics and tracking scripts such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, optimizing performance. Hosting is via a CDN (Amazon CloudFront inferred), ensuring fast content delivery globally. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement cookie consent for privacy compliance.
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.
