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

Haven House is a well-established non-profit children’s hospice based in the United Kingdom, providing specialist care and support to children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families. The organization operates primarily through donations and fundraising efforts, positioning itself as a key regional provider in North East London and West Essex. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy image, with clear calls to action for donations, referrals, and volunteering. It also features rich content including news, events, and family stories that engage its target audience effectively. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Fonts, Microsoft Application Insights, and accessibility tools like Recite Me. It is built on an ASP.NET WebForms framework, indicating a mature but somewhat legacy backend technology. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance and user experience. Analytics and tracking are implemented responsibly with user consent mechanisms in place. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and integrates telemetry and tracking tools securely. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The WHOIS data for the domain could not be retrieved due to querying the 'www' subdomain, but the website’s content and certifications strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, Haven House’s website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency around security policies would further strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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.

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

  • 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

Haven House operates in the non-profit healthcare sector, focusing on children’s hospice care. Its market position is strong regionally, supported by certifications and regulatory compliance. The business model relies on donations, fundraising events, and partnerships with payment processors like PayPal. The website targets families needing hospice care, healthcare professionals, donors, and volunteers. Growth indicators include active event promotion and community engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes regulatory bodies and fundraising regulators, enhancing credibility. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional content, supporting its reputation and donor confidence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of telemetry tools for monitoring. The absence of key security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact are gaps that should be addressed. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is well managed with cookie consent and privacy policies. The site would benefit from implementing a security.txt file and publishing incident response procedures to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but can be enhanced to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls and clearly communicate data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms, indicating a legacy but stable backend framework. Frontend technologies include jQuery 3.7.0, Google Fonts, and Slick Carousel for UI components. Accessibility is enhanced with Recite Me integration. Analytics and monitoring are implemented via Google Analytics, Microsoft Application Insights, and Facebook Pixel, with user consent managed by Termly. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
