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

Good Pitch is a well-established non-profit initiative operated by Doc Society, focused on connecting social justice documentary filmmakers with partners and allies globally. The organization has a strong market position with over a decade of experience and a broad international footprint. Their key services include live events, workshops, impact labs, and funding facilitation, targeting filmmakers and social change advocates. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, error monitoring, and analytics, hosted on AWS infrastructure, reflecting a moderate to good digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and error monitoring but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 organization operates in the media and non-profit sectors, leveraging partnerships with international entities and maintaining a strong brand presence. Their business model centers on enabling social impact through documentary film, supported by a network of filmmakers, impact producers, and change makers. The website content and WHOIS data align well, indicating legitimacy and transparency. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to several related initiatives under Doc Society. Growth indicators include a large number of events, films supported, and partnerships brokered. Revenue streams likely include donations and grants, as indicated by donation links.

Security posture

The security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and Rollbar is used for error monitoring, which is a positive indicator. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which is a gap for transparency and readiness. The use of tracking scripts without a cookie consent mechanism is a privacy compliance risk under GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery 3.3.1, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Rollbar for error monitoring, and Bootstrap 4.3.1 for UI components. Hosting is on AWS, indicated by DNS servers. The site is mobile responsive with multiple CSS stylesheets for different screen sizes. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics and error monitoring scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or bespoke platform.
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.
