Risk levelLow

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

The California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) website provides detailed information about the Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) retrofit program, which offers grants and resources to homeowners of pre-1980 raised foundation homes in California. The program aims to strengthen homes against earthquake damage by providing financial assistance and contractor training. The website is professionally designed using Drupal 10 and integrates modern analytics and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Crazy Egg. It offers comprehensive content including program rules, retrofit details, contractor resources, and contact information. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, though some security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms like cookie consent are missing. WHOIS data is unavailable due to a malformed response, which slightly reduces trust but the website's government affiliation and professional presentation support its legitimacy. Overall, the site is a reliable resource for earthquake retrofit information and services in California.

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

3 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

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

CRMP operates as a government-backed non-profit program focused on seismic retrofit grants and education in California. Its market position is specialized and authoritative within the earthquake safety sector. The business model centers on providing financial incentives and training to homeowners and contractors to improve residential earthquake resilience. The website targets homeowners, contractors, and design professionals, offering registration, training, and resources. The presence of extensive program rules, contractor directories, and educational content indicates a mature program with established processes. The use of modern web technologies and tracking tools suggests a digitally mature organization. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the program's credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. It employs reputable third-party analytics and tracking services securely. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. Overall, the site is secure for general users but could improve in formal security governance and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability issues to improve domain transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services for analytics and user behavior tracking. It uses Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Crazy Egg for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks some security headers which could be added to reduce risk. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with room for security enhancements.
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.
