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

Cornerstone Pentecostal Church is a small non-profit religious organization based in the United Kingdom, providing Pentecostal Christian services, community outreach, and online media content. Their website serves as a hub for live and on-demand services, children and youth programs, and community engagement through a quarterly e-magazine. The church targets local community members and online viewers interested in Pentecostal teachings. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, with additional plugins for SEO (Rank Math), cookie consent, and media sliders. Hosting appears to be provided by SiteGround. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements cookie consent mechanisms, and uses standard security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are absent, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though it could improve transparency around security policies and incident response. The domain registration details align well with the organization's profile, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Cornerstone Pentecostal Church operates as a local community church with a growing online presence, leveraging digital media to extend its outreach. Their business model is donation-based, typical for non-profit religious organizations. The church offers a range of services including Sunday worship, youth clubs, children's activities, and digital content such as live streams and e-magazines. Their active social media presence on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook supports community engagement and marketing efforts. The domain age and registration details are consistent with the organization's founding timeline, indicating stable operations. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, suggesting a focused local operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small non-profit entity. HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL configuration, and multiple security headers are present, enhancing protection against common web attacks. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate GDPR compliance. No signs of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in security transparency and readiness. Regular updates and monitoring are recommended to maintain security integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Add contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by popular plugins such as Rank Math for SEO and Slider Revolution for media presentation. Hosting is likely provided by SiteGround, inferred from the presence of SiteGround optimizer scripts. The site loads multiple Google Fonts and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) implemented. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
