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

The UN Decade on Restoration website serves as the official platform for the United Nations' global initiative to promote ecosystem restoration. It provides comprehensive information on the importance of restoring ecosystems to support food and water security, mitigate climate change, and prevent environmental degradation. The site targets a broad audience including governments, environmental organizations, restoration practitioners, and the general public. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party integrations such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK for analytics and marketing. The security posture is solid with HTTPS and standard security practices, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not found in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for a UN initiative. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned as an authoritative source on ecosystem restoration.

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 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 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 website represents a large-scale governmental/non-profit initiative under UNEP, focusing on ecosystem restoration worldwide. Its business model is centered on awareness, partnership facilitation, and resource sharing rather than commercial transactions. The platform supports a global network of restoration implementers and partners, enhancing its market position as a key environmental actor. The presence of multiple languages and extensive content indicates a mature digital presence. The lack of direct contact information and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in stakeholder engagement and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of security best practices such as reCAPTCHA and asynchronous loading of third-party scripts. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Recommendations include adding explicit security headers, privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, and clear security incident contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add clear contact information for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Review and harden HTTP security headers to improve protection against common web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS, a robust and widely supported platform suitable for large content-driven sites. It integrates popular front-end libraries such as Font Awesome and Slick Carousel for UI enhancements. The site loads multiple analytics and marketing scripts including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads, and Twitter tracking, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. Accessibility features such as skip links and mobile optimization are present, contributing to a good user experience. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
