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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The charity operates within the non-profit sector focusing on veteran employment and support services. It leverages partnerships with government programs and other veteran organizations, as evidenced by linked partner domains and program affiliations. The business model centers on providing free or subsidized employment assistance, mentoring, and training, supported by donations and government funding. The presence of multiple social media channels and partner logos suggests an active engagement strategy and a solid ecosystem of collaborators.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and implements a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a good baseline security and privacy posture. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, and does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The charity should consider publishing vulnerability disclosure information and enhancing security headers to improve resilience and transparency.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance transparency by publishing data retention policies and privacy impact assessments.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern theme and several JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, AOS, and Colorbox for enhanced user experience. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are implemented through Google Tag Manager and Hotjar. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good performance characteristics. However, no hosting provider information was identified, and some security best practices like security headers are missing. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security hardening and performance monitoring.
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.
