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

ICC Community Development Solutions, LLC operates as a specialized technology provider focused on streamlining community development operations for government and related agencies. Their offerings include cloud-based software solutions such as Laserfiche and Municity, designed to enable virtual work environments and improve operational efficiency. The company is positioned as a niche player within the government technology sector, leveraging its affiliation with the International Code Council to establish credibility and market presence. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting government entities and community development professionals. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and themes, hosted via GoDaddy with DNS managed by Cloudflare. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility is basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain locks in place, but DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are absent. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR indicators. Contact information is clearly provided, including phone and physical address, with social media channels active on major platforms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended.

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

5 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 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 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention icc-cds.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for icc-cds.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company targets government agencies and community development professionals, offering software solutions that digitize and automate code enforcement and community development processes. Their business model is B2B SaaS and services, with revenue likely derived from software licensing, support, and consulting. The affiliation with the International Code Council and partnerships with related organizations enhance their market credibility. The website content and linked resources indicate a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on digital transformation in government operations. Growth indicators include active webinars, resource centers, and training offerings. The company appears to be medium-sized and relatively new, founded in 2021, with a clear strategic focus on cloud-based community development solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locks preventing unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response information suggests limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit compliance indicators. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced DNS security, security headers, and formalized security documentation to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Conduct a privacy compliance audit to ensure GDPR and other relevant regulations are fully addressed.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Neve theme and Gutenberg blocks, supported by plugins such as MonsterInsights for analytics and Modern Events Calendar for event management. Hosting is via GoDaddy with DNS managed by Cloudflare, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though there is room for improvement in security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified in the HTML content.
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.
