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. 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 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 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

      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

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 medium-sized non-profit in the healthcare sector, specifically mental health. Its business model centers on education, research, and public awareness, supported by government funding and partnerships with recognized Canadian institutions. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on diverse audiences including individuals affected by mental health issues, healthcare professionals, and policy makers. The presence of multiple social media channels and partner links suggests an active engagement strategy. The domain age and WHOIS data reinforce the organization's established presence since 2007. The site’s market position is strong within the Canadian mental health ecosystem, supported by awards and certifications.

Security posture

The website maintains a solid security baseline with HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options) represent areas for enhancement. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Tracking and marketing pixels are deployed with user consent, aligning with privacy best practices. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize attack surface.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor and JetEngine plugins, enabling rich content presentation and dynamic listings. The tech stack includes multiple analytics and marketing tools integrated via Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed through Yoast SEO Premium and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting details are not explicit but domain registration and DNS suggest Canadian hosting providers. The site uses multiple external resources including Google Fonts and FontAwesome. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively with room for security hardening.
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.
