Priority findings

2 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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The platform occupies a niche position in the language advocacy and LGBTQ+ support sector, focusing on gender inclusivity in language. Its business model is non-profit and collaborative, relying on community contributions and open-source development. The project demonstrates strong partnerships with related multilingual pronoun sites and technical collaborators. Its target audience includes individuals interested in gender-neutral language, activists, educators, and allies. The presence of merchandise and social media channels indicates diversified engagement and outreach strategies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare DNS services, providing a solid baseline for security. However, it lacks DNSSEC and several recommended security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or explicit security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Analytics usage is minimal and privacy-conscious but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations given the use of analytics.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, ensuring a performant and responsive user experience. Hosting leverages Cloudflare DNS for reliability and speed. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Integration with Shopify Buy SDK suggests e-commerce capabilities for merchandise. The technical infrastructure is well-maintained with fast loading times and a clean codebase, though some security best practices remain to be implemented. The open-source nature and community collaboration reduce technical debt and foster continuous improvement.
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.
