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

3 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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

The American Heart Association operates as a large non-profit entity focused on healthcare advocacy and veteran employment support. Its business model revolves around fundraising, education, and community engagement, with a strong emphasis on veteran hiring and support services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strategic partnerships and integrations, including talent communities and recruitment platforms. The organization leverages its brand reputation and certifications to maintain trust and attract qualified candidates. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and comprehensive resource offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes recruitment platforms and veteran support organizations, enhancing its outreach and service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and user privacy respected through detailed privacy and cookie policies. The presence of warnings against fraudulent employment scams indicates awareness of security risks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for its audience but would benefit from adopting additional security best practices and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features further to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Nuxt.js framework, leveraging modern JavaScript ES modules and Google Tag Manager for analytics. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates third-party widgets such as Altru Labs for marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features like skip links and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate, with module preloading and caching strategies evident. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation is robust but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized technical documentation.
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.
