Greenhouse Sports is a UK-based non-profit charity dedicated to developing young people through sport and mentoring. The organization focuses on embedding trusted Coach-Mentors in schools and communities to help young people overcome barriers related to poverty, education, and wellbeing. Their market position is that of a well-established charity with a strong community and school partnership network, supported by donors and corporate partners. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content about their mission, impact, and ways to support.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and performance optimizations including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and ShortPixel image optimization. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and bot management cookies present, though explicit security headers could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected.
Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security and privacy posture for a non-profit, with clear privacy and cookie policies. However, it lacks publicly visible security policies or incident response contacts. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is justified for this type of organization. The domain appears legitimate based on website content and trust indicators.
Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response information, and considering a vulnerability disclosure policy to further improve trust and security maturity.

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.
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.
Critical
Unable to retrieve SSL certificate
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
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"
This scan found 18 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Greenhouse Sports operates in the non-profit sector focusing on youth development through sport and mentoring. Their business model relies on donations, corporate partnerships, philanthropic giving, and community engagement. The organization targets young people affected by poverty, schools, donors, and partners. They have a medium-sized presence with a clear mission and strong community ties. Their partnership ecosystem includes schools, local authorities, and corporate supporters. The website content and social media presence indicate active engagement and growth potential. Financial transparency is supported by published financial accounts. The charity's branding and messaging emphasize inclusivity and long-term impact, positioning them as a trusted player in the youth development charity space.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of Cloudflare Bot Management cookies. Security headers are not fully implemented, which is a moderate gap. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, incident response procedures, and a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance security culture and stakeholder trust. Overall, the security posture is good for a non-profit but has room for improvement in formal security governance and communication.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and enhance transparency around data protection officer contact details.

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. Images are optimized with ShortPixel, improving load times and performance. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is fast with lazy loading and modern JavaScript libraries. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a good user experience. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. The site uses embedded YouTube videos for rich media content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities to enhance security headers and formalize security governance.
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.
