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

The Global Shapers Community website represents a large, globally recognized youth empowerment initiative affiliated with the World Economic Forum. The site focuses on community building, youth engagement, and social change, targeting young people worldwide. The business model is non-profit and community-driven, with a strong emphasis on policy influence and lasting impact. Technically, the website uses modern frameworks such as Angular and integrates third-party services like LoginRadius for authentication and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience, although some accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies in the provided content, though a consent mechanism is present. WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits domain legitimacy verification, but the professional presentation and affiliation with a reputable organization support trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional and secure but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Global Shapers Community holds a strong market position as a youth-focused non-profit initiative under the World Economic Forum umbrella. Its competitive advantage lies in its global reach and association with a prestigious international organization. The business model centers on community engagement and social impact rather than commercial revenue streams. Target customers are young leaders and community members worldwide. Growth indicators include active digital presence and integration with modern engagement tools. The partnership ecosystem includes the World Economic Forum and related platforms. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency and formalize security and privacy policies to strengthen stakeholder confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable third-party authentication and analytics services. However, the absence of key security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response information indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy documentation. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. The security culture appears to be in early to intermediate stages, with room for improvement in transparency and formalization of security processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish a clear vulnerability disclosure process to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response and security policy pages to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular framework, indicating a modern single-page application architecture. It integrates third-party services including LoginRadius for authentication and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site uses responsive design techniques and loads multiple CSS and JS bundles asynchronously to optimize performance. While the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, the use of assets from the World Economic Forum suggests a reputable hosting environment. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in accessibility features. No CMS is detected, implying a custom or framework-based build. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts without visible security policies and missing security headers that could expose the site to certain attacks.
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.
