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

GoRafting.com is a specialized website offering river rafting guidebooks and maps, positioning itself as a leading resource for whitewater and river enthusiasts. The business targets outdoor adventure seekers and provides digital content and app-based services to enhance rafting experiences. The website is built on WordPress using the Kadence theme and blocks, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as MailerLite, PostHog, and Fathom. The site demonstrates good content quality, professional design, and consistent branding, although it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA, but missing security headers and formal security policies reduce the overall security maturity. The domain is well-established since 1997, registered with GoDaddy, and uses AWS DNS, indicating a legitimate and stable online presence. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

9 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

GoRafting operates in the niche outdoor recreation sector, focusing on river rafting guidebooks and maps. Its business model revolves around content provision and app integration, targeting enthusiasts who seek detailed river information. The company leverages digital marketing tools and analytics to engage its audience and optimize user experience. The long domain age and consistent branding suggest a stable market position. However, absence of detailed business contact information and formal policies may limit trust for some users. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly visible, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified. Growth potential lies in expanding app features and formalizing compliance and security frameworks.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and integrates analytics responsibly. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Kadence theme and blocks, which provide flexibility and responsive design. Hosting on AWS DNS servers indicates a reliable infrastructure. The site uses several third-party scripts for analytics (PostHog, Fathom), marketing (MailerLite), and iconography (FontAwesome). Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO is enhanced by structured data and meta tags. The site is mobile optimized and has clear navigation. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and privacy compliance are areas for improvement to reduce business risk.
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.
