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

The Eric Frank Trust is a small UK-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the development of young people, particularly through leadership development within Scouting and related projects. The organization provides grants to support leadership initiatives and occasionally supports research in this domain. The website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS with basic security measures such as anti-clickjacking scripts. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules, but the website content and contact details appear legitimate and consistent with a small non-profit entity.

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. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Twitter, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Eric Frank Trust operates in the non-profit sector with a niche focus on youth leadership development, primarily supporting Scouting principles. Its business model revolves around grant-making and supporting leadership projects. The organization targets young people and adult leaders involved in Scouting worldwide. The website shows a consistent brand presence and includes social media engagement via Twitter. The lack of detailed WHOIS data is typical for UK .org.uk domains but limits full verification. The use of StatCounter for analytics suggests minimal user tracking. The organization appears stable with a clear mission and a small operational size.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes basic security practices such as an anti-clickjacking script. However, it lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which impacts GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site uses standard WordPress components, which require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Create and expose a security.txt file with incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear data retention policies and user tracking disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Enfold theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. The site is mobile-optimized and has good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the absence of advanced security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates some technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses StatCounter for analytics, which is a lightweight tracking solution. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
