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

The Change Climate Project is a nonprofit organization focused on providing climate certification and carbon management solutions to companies aiming to reduce their environmental impact. Their flagship offering, The Climate Label, certifies companies that meet rigorous standards for greenhouse gas emissions measurement, reduction, and funding of climate solutions. The organization has a strong market position with over 300 certified companies and is supported by reputable partners and testimonials from recognized environmental and retail organizations. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Jetboost for enhanced functionality and analytics. The site is mobile optimized, well-structured, and provides a professional user experience. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms, though some security headers are not explicitly detected. The security posture is generally strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of use, though a cookie consent mechanism is not evident. Contact information is primarily via web forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for the nonprofit's mission, though the lack of WHOIS data transparency slightly reduces domain trustworthiness. Strategic improvements in security headers and cookie consent would enhance compliance and user trust.

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

4 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 Change Climate Project operates as a nonprofit entity in the sustainability sector, providing certification and carbon management tools to companies globally. Their business model centers on certification services and technology platforms like the Business Emissions Evaluator (BEE). The organization targets businesses committed to climate leadership and consumers seeking verified climate-friendly brands. Their ecosystem includes partnerships with retailers, suppliers, and NGOs, enhancing their market reach and credibility. The presence of testimonials from industry leaders and a growing community of certified companies indicates positive growth and influence in the climate certification market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of anti-bot measures such as Google reCAPTCHA on forms. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of publicly available incident response or security policies limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for users but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and clearer communication of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to increase trust and preparedness.
  4. Consider providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, enabling comprehensive user tracking and marketing automation. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-hosted sites with multiple external scripts. The use of Google reCAPTCHA enhances form security. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and improve accessibility features for broader 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.
