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

Every Child A Swimmer is a small non-profit organization dedicated to providing life-saving swim education to children, primarily through scholarships and partnerships with swim schools and safety organizations. Their mission focuses on reducing drowning risks by making swim lessons accessible to all children, especially those who cannot afford them. The website reflects a well-structured digital presence built on WordPress with the Divi theme, integrating various plugins for forms, social media feeds, and donation facilitation. The organization maintains partnerships with reputable entities such as the International Swimming Hall of Fame and the American Red Cross, enhancing its credibility and outreach. Technically, the website is hosted on Flywheel and uses a valid SSL certificate, though it lacks modern TLS protocol support and advanced security headers like HSTS. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, with basic accessibility and SEO practices in place. Data collection is primarily through contact and newsletter subscription forms, with minimal user tracking and marketing tools such as Constant Contact and GiveButter. From a security perspective, the site employs some standard headers and has no known SSL vulnerabilities, but it lacks a formal security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of cookie consent and terms of service pages indicates potential compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with updated protocols and enhanced policies. Strategically, the organization should focus on improving its security and privacy compliance, implementing cookie consent, upgrading TLS support, and publishing clear security and incident response policies. These steps will strengthen trust and regulatory adherence while supporting its mission to save lives through swim education.

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 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 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

Every Child A Swimmer operates in the non-profit sector with a clear focus on child water safety education. Its competitive advantage lies in its partnerships with established swimming and safety organizations, enabling it to provide scholarships and resources effectively. The business model relies on donations, partnerships, and advocacy to fund swim lessons and legislative efforts. Target customers include parents, caregivers, swim lesson providers, and policymakers. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and legislative advocacy in multiple states. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving swim schools, safety organizations, and community groups. Operationally, the organization emphasizes education, resource provision, and legislative support to expand its impact nationwide.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with a valid SSL certificate and basic security headers like X-Content-Type-Options and X-XSS-Protection. However, it lacks modern TLS protocol support (no TLS 1.2 or 1.3), HSTS implementation, and Content Security Policy headers. There is no visible security policy or incident response plan published on the site, nor is there a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. Data protection practices are basic, with contact forms and newsletter subscriptions collecting personal data but no explicit cookie consent or detailed privacy compliance statements beyond a privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Compliance gaps exist regarding GDPR and cookie regulations. The security posture would benefit from enhanced policies, updated protocols, and transparency in incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS security.
  2. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols for stronger encryption.
  3. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  5. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme, supported by multiple plugins including Integrate Google Drive Premium, Constant Contact Forms, Custom Facebook Feed, WPForms, and Divi Bars. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. Hosting is provided by Flywheel, with caching and CDN services evident. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with structured navigation, meta tags, and social media integration. Technical debt is low, but the SSL/TLS configuration is outdated, lacking support for modern protocols. Opportunities exist to modernize security protocols and enhance compliance mechanisms to reduce technical risks impacting business operations.
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.
