75/100

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

Green Fins is a well-established non-profit initiative dedicated to protecting coral reefs through sustainable marine tourism. Supported by the United Nations Environment Programme and partnered with Reef-World, it offers certified and digital memberships to dive centers, snorkelling centers, and liveaboard businesses globally. The website provides educational e-courses for recreational divers and professional guides, promoting responsible tourism practices. The organization targets eco-conscious tourists and marine operators, positioning itself as a trusted global leader in marine conservation education and certification. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Google Maps API integration. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting and DNS services leverage Cloudflare and NameCheap, ensuring reliable performance and domain security. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are missing. There is no public vulnerability disclosure or incident response policy, and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may impact GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected. Overall, Green Fins presents a professional, trustworthy, and content-rich platform with a strong business credibility score. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and enhanced security practices are recommended to further strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Green Fins operates in the non-profit sector focusing on marine conservation and sustainable tourism. Its business model revolves around membership certification, digital self-management, and educational offerings. The initiative benefits from strong partnerships with international organizations like UNEP and Reef-World, enhancing its credibility and reach. The target market includes dive operators and eco-tourists worldwide, with a medium-sized organizational footprint. The website's content and structure support growth through online courses and global member listings, indicating a scalable and community-driven approach. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on digital engagement and social media for communication. The partnership ecosystem and UN backing provide competitive advantages and market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled. The use of Cloudflare DNS adds resilience, but the lack of DNSSEC is a notable gap. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No signs of exposed credentials, malware, or phishing were found. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formal policies to align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  5. Publish clear security and incident response policies to enhance trust and preparedness.

The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding.

The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the organization's digital engagement and educational mission effectively.
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.
