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

Cyber Collective is a nonprofit organization focused on empowering individuals and communities with digital safety education and resources. Their flagship program, Internet Street Smarts, along with workshops and a comprehensive resource library, positions them as a leader in grassroots digital safety advocacy. The website reflects a professional, accessible, and community-oriented approach, with strong calls to action for donations and partnerships. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Stripe for payments, and privacy-respecting analytics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and CAPTCHA protections, though some security headers could be enhanced. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy, but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is typical for nonprofits. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-designed, and serves its mission effectively.

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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

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 in the nonprofit sector, targeting vulnerable populations affected by online scams and digital harm. Their business model relies on donations, volunteer engagement, and community partnerships. The presence of microgrants and train-the-trainer programs indicates a scalable and sustainable approach. Their market position is niche but impactful, with a global reach evidenced by their reported impact statistics. Partnerships with payment processors and web development firms support operational efficiency. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear branding and messaging.

Security posture

Cyber Collective demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on forms, and secure payment processing via Stripe. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is strong in policy but could be enhanced with visible cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is robust for a nonprofit organization but can benefit from formalized security documentation and header enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to strengthen defense in depth.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide clear registrant information on the website for trust.

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations, Slick Carousel for sliders, and integrates third-party services including Stripe for payments and Plausible for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with CDN usage for assets. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some SEO and accessibility enhancements could be considered. No technical debt or legacy technology was detected, indicating a well-managed infrastructure.
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.
