Fed Communities · Government · United States
Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS, Security headers and 1 other check.
Fed Communities is a government-affiliated platform providing independent, nonpartisan information and insights from the Federal Reserve's community development teams. The website serves community leaders, policymakers, researchers, and nonprofit organizations by offering research, data tools, events, and stories focused on economic development and workforce resilience. The site is positioned as an authoritative resource within the Federal Reserve System, with consistent branding and a clear mission to support strong, resilient communities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, HubSpot analytics and forms, Google Tag Manager, and Crazy Egg for tracking. The site is hosted via GoDaddy and uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, though DNSSEC is not enabled. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well supported through structured data and meta tags. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain status protections but lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Privacy compliance is weak as no privacy or cookie policies are found, and no consent mechanisms are detected. Contact information is limited to a contact form and social media links, with no direct emails or phone numbers published. Overall, the website is a credible and professional resource with strong content quality and business credibility. However, it would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security headers, and published security policies to strengthen trust and compliance posture.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
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.
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
Controls resources the browser is allowed to load
What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.
Risk levels
Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.
Leaked records that mention fedcommunities.org, from OffSeq Breach.
No leaked records found
Breach holds no records for fedcommunities.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.
Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
