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

Elliotsville Foundation, Inc. is a small non-profit organization dedicated to advancing environmental justice and community-based economic development in Maine. Their work focuses on strengthening communities and economies by expanding connections with the outdoors, promoting responsible and equitable engagement with the environment, and maintaining natural spaces for public enjoyment. The organization collaborates with multiple reputable partners including Friends of Katahdin Woods & Waters, National Park Service, and others to enhance visitor experiences and conservation efforts. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring good performance and availability. The website is mobile optimized with a professional design and clear navigation, although accessibility features could be improved. SEO is basic but adequate for the site’s purpose. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is present. WHOIS data is privacy protected or unavailable, which is common for non-profits, but the domain appears legitimate based on content and update recency. Overall, Elliotsville Foundation’s website is trustworthy and professional, serving its mission well. To enhance security posture and compliance, it should implement security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and consider adding vulnerability disclosure information. These improvements will strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

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

8 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 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';…

  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

Elliotsville Foundation operates in the environmental non-profit sector with a niche focus on environmental justice and community economic development in Maine. Their business model centers on partnerships and community engagement rather than commercial revenue streams. The organization leverages collaborations with national and local conservation groups to amplify impact. The website reflects a well-established presence with active content updates and multiple partner endorsements, indicating a stable and credible operation. Growth indicators include recent project launches such as the Tekαkαpimək Contact Station and ongoing community visitation programs. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving national park services, conservation associations, and local foundations, which enhances credibility and resource access.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented with strong SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, which is positive. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. Incident response readiness is not evident, with no security or abuse contact information provided. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be significantly improved by adopting recommended security headers, publishing policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels to improve security incident handling and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies such as Google Fonts and jQuery 3.5.1. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Hosting is via AWS Cloudfront CDN, providing reliable content delivery and performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. However, SEO optimization is basic, and accessibility features are limited. There is no evidence of server-side frameworks or complex backend technologies, consistent with a content-focused non-profit site. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement through optimization of assets and enhanced caching strategies. Technical debt appears low, but security and compliance technical gaps exist as noted.
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.
