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

Global Water Partnership (GWP) is an established international organization focused on water resource management and investment initiatives. The website serves primarily as a landing page announcing a transition to a new phase called the Global Transformation Agenda On Water Investments and directs users to a new website (gwpo-gwp.org). The organization appears to be a non-profit or partnership entity with a global focus on water-related projects. The domain has a long history dating back to 1996, supporting its legitimacy and established presence. Technically, the website uses common web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK for tracking and marketing purposes. The hosting provider appears to be Loopia based on DNS nameservers. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced accessibility and SEO features. No CMS or major frameworks are detected from the provided data. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enabled, but no DNSSEC or security headers are present, which reduces the overall security posture. There are no visible forms or data collection points on the landing page, limiting attack surface but also limiting user engagement. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating poor privacy compliance. No contact information or incident response details are provided, which may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website is functional but minimalistic, with room for improvement in privacy compliance, security hardening, and content richness. The domain registration data aligns well with the organization's identity, supporting trustworthiness. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policies, and user engagement features are recommended to enhance the website's credibility and compliance.

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

8 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

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

GWP operates as a global water partnership organization with a focus on facilitating water investments and resource management. Its market position is that of a long-standing, reputable non-profit entity with a global reach. The business model centers on partnership facilitation and agenda setting rather than direct commercial services. The target audience includes governments, NGOs, investors, and stakeholders in water management sectors. The organization leverages partnerships and a global network to promote sustainable water investments. The website's minimal content and redirection to a new site suggest a strategic transition or rebranding effort. The lack of detailed business information on the landing page limits deeper business intelligence insights but the domain age and registrant data support a credible and stable operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates gaps in defense-in-depth strategies. No forms or input fields reduce immediate risk exposure but also limit user interaction. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate privacy risks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, suggests incomplete compliance with GDPR and best practices. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement DNSSEC, security headers, and formal privacy and incident response policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement key security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a lightweight technical stack with standard web fonts from Google Fonts and tracking scripts from Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK. Hosting is provided by Loopia, a known hosting provider. The site is a simple landing page with minimal interactive elements and no detected CMS or complex frameworks. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading. SEO and accessibility features are basic, with scope for improvement. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security configuration. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO optimizations to improve reach and compliance.
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.
