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

The Congressional Recall Amendment website represents a focused political advocacy movement aiming to promote a constitutional amendment to enable federal recall elections for members of Congress. The site provides detailed educational content, a proposed amendment text, and multiple engagement channels including petition signing and legislator contact facilitation. The target audience is primarily U.S. voters and state legislators interested in democratic accountability. The business model is centered on grassroots advocacy and public mobilization rather than commercial services. Technically, the website is built with modern front-end technologies including Tailwind CSS and JavaScript, with integration of Mautic for marketing automation and form handling. Hosting is inferred to be via GoDaddy, with domain control nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and presents a professional design, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. From a security perspective, the site lacks HTTPS enforcement on all external resources, notably loading a key marketing script over HTTP, which introduces mixed content risks. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and DNSSEC is not enabled on the domain. The WHOIS data shows an anomalous future creation date, which reduces domain trustworthiness. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. Contact information is limited to an email and a form, with no phone or physical address provided. Overall, the website is functional and professionally presented but requires improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and domain legitimacy verification. Strategic recommendations include enabling HTTPS site-wide, adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and clarifying domain registration details to enhance trust and compliance.

Priority findings

8 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  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

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 Congressional Recall Amendment Movement occupies a niche within the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on constitutional reform and political accountability. Its market positioning is as a grassroots advocacy group targeting politically engaged citizens and state legislators. The business model relies on public engagement through petitions, education, and direct legislator contact rather than revenue generation. The movement's growth potential depends on successful mobilization and legislative support. Partnerships or related domains were not identified, suggesting a standalone operation. The organization appears small in size and newly founded, consistent with the 2025 copyright and domain registration date. The lack of extensive trust indicators such as certifications or endorsements limits its perceived credibility but the clear mission and detailed amendment proposal support legitimacy.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate but with notable gaps. The absence of HTTPS on all resources, especially third-party scripts, exposes users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and mixed content warnings. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The WHOIS data anomaly regarding domain creation date raises questions about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing standard web security best practices and improving transparency around data protection and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTPS across the entire website and ensure all external scripts load over HTTPS to eliminate mixed content risks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and trustworthiness.
  5. Clarify and correct domain WHOIS registration data to remove anomalies and improve legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern front-end technologies such as Tailwind CSS and JavaScript, with integration of Mautic for marketing automation and form handling. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear, professional design. Hosting is via GoDaddy with domaincontrol.com nameservers. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. However, the use of HTTP for loading critical external scripts introduces security risks. No CMS or major frameworks beyond Tailwind CSS were detected. SEO and accessibility features are basic but functional. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking services beyond the Mautic form integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small advocacy site but requires improvements in security and privacy implementations.
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.
