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

The website getagameplan.org serves as an official emergency preparedness resource affiliated with the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. It provides comprehensive information and tools for disaster readiness, including cybersecurity plans, hurricane preparedness, and disaster recovery assistance. The site targets residents, families, and businesses within Louisiana, positioning itself as a trusted government resource. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public safety and community resilience. Technically, the site employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Slick Carousel, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure. It uses Umbraco CMS and integrates Google Analytics and Google Custom Search for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features like an accessibility toolbar and multilingual translation support. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is moderate, with a privacy policy present on a related government domain but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid risk posture with minor areas for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance. It is a credible and trustworthy government resource with a clear mission and audience.

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

7 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. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

The website is positioned as a key state government emergency preparedness platform, leveraging partnerships with federal agencies like FEMA (ready.gov) and disasterassistance.gov. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing, comprehensive planning resources, and integration with state emergency management systems. The business model is informational and service-oriented, with no direct revenue streams. Target customers include Louisiana residents, businesses, and emergency management stakeholders. Growth indicators include active social media presence and continuous content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes state and federal emergency agencies, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer restrictions are in place, indicating good baseline security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which limits transparency and readiness. Data protection practices appear sound with no exposed sensitive information. The site lacks cookie consent mechanisms, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security culture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including a security.txt file for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1, jQuery 3.3.1, FontAwesome, and Slick Carousel for UI components. It is built on the Umbraco CMS platform and hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, as indicated by DNS records. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in script loading and caching. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as an accessibility toolbar and Google Translate integration. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface. The search functionality is powered by Google Custom Search Engine, enhancing user experience.
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.
