Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

HART 2026 Proposed Service Changes website serves as the official platform for Hillsborough Area Regional Transit to communicate upcoming transit route adjustments and gather public feedback. The site targets local residents and transit users in Tampa, Florida, providing detailed route changes, public meeting schedules, and bilingual content to ensure accessibility. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, leveraging modern web technologies and translation plugins to enhance user experience. Security measures include HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA v3 integration on forms, though some security headers are not explicitly detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap. WHOIS data shows an unusual future domain creation date, which slightly impacts trust but does not negate the site's legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, informative, and trustworthy with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The website positions HART as a regional public transportation authority actively engaging its community in service planning. Its business model focuses on public service and community involvement rather than commercial revenue generation. The presence of multiple social media channels and public meeting events indicates a strong community outreach strategy. The bilingual approach and detailed route information suggest a customer-centric focus. The domain registrar is reputable, and the hosting appears stable. However, the domain age anomaly may warrant further verification. The site lacks explicit certifications or security incident response disclosures, which is typical for public sector informational sites but could be enhanced for transparency.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA v3 protecting form submissions against automated abuse. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information limits the site's readiness for incident response. Enabling DNSSEC and improving header configurations would strengthen security. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature and maintainable technical infrastructure. The inclusion of Google reCAPTCHA v3 and Weglot translation plugin shows attention to security and accessibility. Performance is moderate with standard use of jQuery and Font Awesome icons. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility tools such as an accessibility toolbar. SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) are well implemented, enhancing search engine visibility. Hosting is inferred to be with GoDaddy, a reputable provider. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and DNSSEC activation are recommended to reduce risk.
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.
