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.
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 Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
This scan found 26 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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 organization occupies a niche position in the non-profit environmental sector, focusing on amphibian preservation. Its business model revolves around awareness, education, and community engagement rather than commercial revenue. The presence of multiple social media channels and interactive content suggests active outreach and engagement strategies. The lack of detailed financial or founding data limits deeper business intelligence. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. The use of structured data and consistent branding supports credibility and discoverability.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-aware approach to user tracking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding cookie consent mechanisms to enhance compliance and user trust.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user transparency.
Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security posture.
Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update AngularJS framework.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses AngularJS, a mature but aging JavaScript framework, combined with YouTube iframe API for video content and Matomo for analytics. The presence of Modernizr and PreloadJS indicates attention to feature detection and resource loading. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized but could benefit from modernization to newer frameworks and improved accessibility. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not available. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be improved for future scalability and security.
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.
