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

The Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency (CAHA) is an official government entity dedicated to promoting and supporting the arts and humanities in Guam. Established in 1967, CAHA provides grants, organizes exhibitions, and fosters cultural education to enrich the community. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for residents, artists, and stakeholders to access information about programs, events, and resources. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS with a moderate tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google services. It is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, though some libraries are outdated. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is basic, with no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its government function effectively.

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

6 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

  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

    • High

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

CAHA operates as a small government agency focused on arts and cultural development in Guam. Its market position is unique as the sole official arts council for the territory, providing grants and public programs. The business model is non-commercial, funded by government and federal grants. The website supports community engagement and transparency with event calendars, meeting materials, and artist directories. Partnerships with local government and cultural organizations are evident through linked domains. The agency's longevity and domain age support its credibility. Growth indicators include active event postings and grant cycles. The digital presence is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced privacy compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and modern security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version could expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present. Forms use CAPTCHA modules, indicating some protection against automated abuse. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires improvements to meet higher standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions.
  3. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a mix of legacy and modern front-end technologies such as jQuery 1.10, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features like text resizing and high contrast modes. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The hosting setup uses Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC. The site uses Google Maps API for location display. Technical debt is indicated by outdated libraries and missing security headers. Modernization efforts should focus on updating dependencies, enhancing security configurations, and improving privacy mechanisms.
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.
