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

The Institute of Core Energetics is a non-profit organization focused on providing education and training in Core Energetics, a body-oriented psychotherapy and spiritual development methodology. The website positions the Institute as a dedicated community for personal transformation, offering various programs, workshops, and an alumni network. The organization targets individuals seeking deeper self-awareness and healing through experiential learning and practitioner certification. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and reCAPTCHA to enhance user experience and security. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and professionally designed, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is good with HTTPS and secure payment processing, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy, supported by clear contact information, legal policies, and trust signals such as 501(c)(3) registration and testimonials. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for the Institute's mission and services.

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

5 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 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 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

  3. 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Institute operates in the niche sector of psychotherapy and spiritual development education, leveraging a non-profit model to offer training and community engagement. Its market position is that of a specialized educational provider with a loyal audience interested in Core Energetics. Revenue streams likely include tuition for training programs, workshops, and donations. The partnership ecosystem includes payment processors like GiveButter and marketing platforms like Constant Contact, indicating a well-integrated operational model. Growth indicators include active alumni networks and ongoing program offerings. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on quality education and community building rather than commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure payment processing via Authorize.Net. Use of reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate spam and abuse. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with privacy regulations is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie usage, though no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and security posture.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce integration for e-commerce capabilities. It uses popular plugins such as Revolution Slider for visual content and MonsterInsights for analytics. The tech stack includes jQuery and LazySizes for performance optimization. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile responsive, providing a good user experience across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
