Security score

68/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website granthamfoundation.org is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare security error (Error 1014: CNAME Cross-User Banned), indicating a DNS misconfiguration involving CNAME records across Cloudflare accounts. This results in the site content being blocked and replaced by a Cloudflare error page. Consequently, no business content, contact information, or policies are available for review. The domain is registered since 2005 with a reputable registrar and uses Cloudflare DNS services without DNSSEC enabled. The technical infrastructure relies on Cloudflare's platform, but the misconfiguration severely impacts accessibility and user experience. Security posture is limited due to lack of accessible content, but the presence of Cloudflare indicates some baseline security measures. Privacy compliance and business credibility cannot be verified due to missing content. Overall, the site is currently non-functional for end users and requires DNS configuration correction to restore service.

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. 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 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

    • 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

No business intelligence data could be extracted from the website due to the blocked content. The domain age suggests a mature entity, but no information on market positioning, business model, or services is available. No contact or social media links were found. The site appears to be a non-profit or foundation based on the domain name, but this cannot be confirmed. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identifiable from the current data.

Security posture

The security posture is limited by the lack of accessible content. The domain uses Cloudflare as a hosting and security provider, which generally provides strong DDoS protection and WAF capabilities. However, the DNS misconfiguration causing the CNAME cross-user ban error is a critical issue that prevents site availability. No security headers or SSL configuration details are visible. No privacy or incident response policies are published. The site should address DNS setup issues and implement standard security headers and policies to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve the Cloudflare CNAME cross-user ban by correcting DNS CNAME records to comply with Cloudflare policies.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and integrity.
  3. Publish privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add clear contact information and incident response channels to support security and user inquiries.
  5. Implement security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare with name servers asa.ns.cloudflare.com and roan.ns.cloudflare.com. DNSSEC is not enabled. The site returns a Cloudflare error 1014 page indicating a CNAME cross-user ban, a DNS misconfiguration issue. The HTML content is minimal and serves only the error message with no business content. The site uses Cloudflare's performance radar script for analytics and a feedback mechanism for error page usability. No CMS or other frameworks are detected. The site lacks SEO metadata, accessibility features, or mobile optimization due to the error page nature. Performance is moderate as the error page loads quickly but does not serve intended content. The domain is registered with Register.com since 2005 and expires in 2026.
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.
