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

The website equaleverywhere.org is a professionally designed advocacy campaign by the United Nations Foundation focused on promoting gender equality worldwide. It serves as a platform to raise awareness, encourage pledges, share stories, and collect donations to support girls and women’s rights globally. The site leverages modern web technologies and integrates social media feeds and secure third-party form providers to engage its audience effectively. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress, hosted and registered via Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and secure forms, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-branded, and serves its non-profit 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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  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

  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 campaign is positioned as a key initiative under the United Nations Foundation umbrella, targeting a global audience interested in gender equality and women's rights. Its business model is non-profit advocacy supported by donations and community engagement. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes reputable third-party platforms like EveryAction and NGP VAN for form handling and fundraising. The campaign benefits from strong branding consistency and social media presence, enhancing its market position as a credible and impactful movement. Growth indicators include active social media integration and interactive features such as story sharing and pledges. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital engagement rather than traditional customer support channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, secure form providers, and domain transfer protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS represents areas for improvement. The lack of a published privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could impact transparency and trust. Overall, the site is secure for users but would benefit from enhanced security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  3. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Consider providing direct contact information for security or incident response inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with a custom theme and integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Juicer social feeds, and Vimeo for video content. The hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing robust infrastructure and DDoS protection. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. The site uses secure and reputable form providers (EveryAction, Gravity Forms) for data collection. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified in the HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
