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

Goods Unite Us is a consumer advocacy platform focused on providing political background checks on thousands of brands and companies to help consumers align their spending with their political values. The organization operates primarily as a non-profit entity targeting consumers interested in political transparency and ethical purchasing. Their key services include a mobile app, brand ratings, and tools to influence corporate political expenditures. The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including React components and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and push notifications. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are robust and GDPR compliant, reflecting a mature approach to user data protection. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification but the professional website and active social media presence support trustworthiness. Overall, the site is well-designed, user-friendly, and serves a clear advocacy purpose.

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

4 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 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';…

  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

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 platform occupies a niche market segment focused on political transparency in consumer spending, leveraging data on corporate political donations. Its business model appears to be advocacy-driven, possibly supported by donations or grants, with a focus on educating consumers and influencing corporate behavior. The presence of a mobile app and e-commerce store suggests diversified engagement channels. Partnerships with domains like demz.fund and indexalign.com indicate a broader ecosystem of related advocacy or technology projects. The company targets politically conscious consumers and activists, positioning itself as a trusted source for ethical purchasing decisions. Growth indicators include active content updates, social media engagement, and integration of modern web technologies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts, which are recommended best practices. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly present and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of multiple third-party ad and analytics services is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be improved with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the FoundationPress theme and incorporates React-based scripts for dynamic functionality. It uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Algolia for search, Stripe for payments, and OneSignal for push notifications. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics, alongside multiple ad networks for monetization. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices via Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
