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

The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is a well-established non-profit organization focused on environmental education and sustainable development with a global presence spanning over 110 member organizations in 85 countries. Their core activities include managing internationally recognized sustainability certification programs such as Blue Flag and Green Key, youth empowerment initiatives like Eco-Schools and Young Reporters for the Environment, and global campaigns addressing climate action and ecosystem restoration. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with their mission. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, but the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies indicates room for improvement in compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as missing contact information for security incidents, represents compliance and transparency gaps. The domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for non-profits, and no suspicious patterns were detected. The website is safe for general audiences and free from adult or questionable content. Strategically, the organization should prioritize publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, establish a vulnerability disclosure process, and improve accessibility to enhance trust and compliance. These steps will strengthen their security culture and align with global data protection standards.

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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, 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

FEE occupies a strong position in the environmental education sector as a globally recognized non-profit with a broad network and multiple flagship programs. Their business model centers on education, certification, and partnerships, generating influence rather than direct revenue. The organization targets educational institutions, youth, communities, and sustainable businesses worldwide. Partnerships with entities like the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and Mars Wrigley Foundation indicate strategic collaborations that enhance reach and impact. The website content and linked domains reinforce a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on climate and biodiversity challenges. Growth indicators include active campaigns, events, and a diverse program portfolio. The lack of direct contact info on the website may limit immediate engagement but aligns with a centralized organizational structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. No security headers beyond HSTS were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting potential for adding headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to further harden security. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. The use of third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and readiness for security events. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure but could improve compliance and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page with contact information for security incidents.
  3. Enhance security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Improve website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, which provides a stable and secure hosting environment with built-in HTTPS support. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries, Typekit fonts, and integrations with Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp for analytics and marketing automation. The site is mobile responsive with a clean design and good navigation structure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by image sizes and third-party scripts. Accessibility is basic, with potential improvements in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies is a technical and compliance gap. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced compliance and accessibility 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.
