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

Eco-Schools is a globally recognized environmental education programme operated by the Foundation for Environmental Education, engaging millions of students across over 100 countries. The website serves as a comprehensive resource hub offering educational materials, news, events, and online courses to support sustainability education. Technically, the site is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear GDPR and cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the organization's established reputation and transparent content.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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 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 Foundation for Environmental Education positions Eco-Schools as a leading non-profit educational initiative focused on sustainability and environmental stewardship. Its market position is strong, supported by global reach and partnerships with reputable organizations. The business model centers on providing free educational resources, campaigns, and awards to schools worldwide, targeting educators and students. Growth indicators include expanding course offerings and international conferences. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as fee.global and feeacademy.global, reinforcing its educational mission. The organization's operations reflect a mature non-profit with consistent branding and trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and HSTS, secure form handling, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and YouTube embeds is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. The lack of some advanced security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy) is a minor gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency. Overall, the site aligns well with best practices for non-profit educational platforms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other advanced security headers to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve security transparency.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved user trust and support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reliable and secure platform, using modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Typekit fonts. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. The site uses embedded YouTube videos and interactive maps to enhance content engagement. Technical debt appears low, but accessibility features could be enhanced for compliance with standards. The infrastructure supports the organization's global educational mission effectively with room for incremental improvements in security and accessibility.
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.
