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

5 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. 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 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';…

  3. 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

Flexport.org operates as an essential non-profit entity within the transportation and humanitarian aid sectors. Its business model focuses on providing discounted and pro bono logistics services to NGOs and nonprofits, enabling efficient aid delivery and sustainability efforts. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with global aid organizations, enhancing its market reach and impact. The platform's integration of climate programs aligns with growing environmental concerns, positioning it competitively in the sustainability logistics niche. Growth indicators include a mature domain age, consistent branding, and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes major NGOs and philanthropic entities, reinforcing credibility and operational capacity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS using modern TLS protocols and strong cipher suites. Security headers related to domain registration status are present, preventing unauthorized domain modifications. No critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, FREAK, or Logjam were detected. The site employs cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and DMARC records represents areas for improvement. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not explicitly found, suggesting potential gaps in security governance documentation. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  3. Publish a DMARC DNS record to protect against email spoofing and phishing.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security policies to reflect evolving compliance requirements and best practices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and Gatsby, indicating a modern, component-based frontend architecture optimized for performance and SEO. Hosting on Amazon AWS provides scalable and reliable infrastructure. The use of Google reCAPTCHA enhances bot protection, while Ketch manages consent and privacy compliance. Mapbox GL JS integration suggests interactive mapping capabilities. Performance metrics indicate moderate load times with a substantial number of resources and page size, which could be optimized further. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are present, supporting inclusive design. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security 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.
