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

FloridaSHIP.org is a government-operated website dedicated to Florida's 2022-2026 State Health Improvement Plan. It serves as an informational portal targeting Florida residents, public health officials, healthcare providers, and policymakers. The site provides health improvement planning resources and event calendars related to public health initiatives. The domain is registered with privacy protection but uses official Florida Department of Health name servers, supporting its legitimacy as a government resource. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Modern Events Calendar Lite. It employs HTTPS and reCAPTCHA for security but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO practices are implemented at a good level, but accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site follows some best practices like HTTPS and domain locking but misses DNSSEC and explicit security policies. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a gap for a government health site. Overall, the website is moderately trustworthy and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and clearer contact information to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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';…
  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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

FloridaSHIP.org operates as a government health improvement initiative, positioning itself as a key resource for public health planning in Florida. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing by the Florida Department of Health, providing authoritative health improvement plans and event information. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and information dissemination. Revenue streams are not applicable. The target customer segments include state residents, healthcare providers, and policymakers. Growth indicators are tied to state health program cycles. The partnership ecosystem includes state health departments and possibly local health organizations, though no explicit partners are listed. Strategic observations suggest the site is a foundational platform for state health initiatives but lacks advanced digital engagement features.

Security posture

The security posture of FloridaSHIP.org is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and domain registration protections, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and advanced security headers reduces its defense-in-depth. The use of reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR or similar privacy regulations is not evident, which is a concern given the public health context. The site would benefit from implementing a security.txt file and publishing clear security and privacy policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

FloridaSHIP.org is built on a WordPress CMS platform using standard plugins for SEO, event management, and media display. The site loads scripts from reputable CDNs and uses FontAwesome for icons. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness. The technical infrastructure is stable but could be modernized by enabling DNSSEC and improving security headers. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but likely involves state or GoDaddy infrastructure. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies. Technical debt appears low but the site lacks advanced accessibility and privacy compliance features, representing modernization opportunities.
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.
