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

Hope Charities operates as a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by hemophilia and related chronic illnesses. The organization provides financial assistance, educational resources, emotional support, and advocacy services to its target audience. The website reflects a focused mission with clear calls to action, event promotion, and community engagement through social media and podcasts. The organization maintains partnerships with healthcare-related sponsors, enhancing its credibility and outreach. Technically, the website is built on the Weebly platform, utilizing common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for tracking and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and includes multimedia content such as videos and podcasts, contributing to a positive user experience. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and minimal security headers indicate areas for technical improvement. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA on forms, which are positive indicators. Nonetheless, the absence of comprehensive security headers and the outdated JavaScript library present potential vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy page present but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for a small healthcare non-profit organization. Strategic improvements in security practices and privacy compliance would enhance the site's resilience and user trust.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
  • 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

Hope Charities holds a niche position in the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on hemophilia and bleeding disorders. Its business model relies on donations, sponsorships, and community events, supported by partnerships with healthcare companies. The organization targets patients, families, healthcare professionals, and donors. The website's content and social media presence indicate active engagement and outreach efforts. The lack of detailed financial or founding data limits deeper business intelligence insights but the presence of advocate sponsors and event registrations suggests a stable operational model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the presence of an outdated jQuery library (version 1.8.3) introduces potential security risks due to known vulnerabilities in older versions. The absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent banner detected, which may be a compliance gap under GDPR or similar regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Develop and publish clear security and incident response policies, including vulnerability disclosure guidelines.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the Weebly platform, leveraging its CMS and hosting infrastructure. It uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, YouTube, and Buzzsprout for podcasts. The site is mobile responsive and includes multimedia content. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization. The use of older jQuery version indicates technical debt. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced structured data (JSON-LD) detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
