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

The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) operates a professionally designed website focused on creating, enhancing, and protecting mountain biking trails across the United States. The organization targets mountain biking communities and enthusiasts, providing services such as trail development guidance, community engagement, funding support, and educational programs. The website leverages modern technologies including Drupal 10, Google Maps API, and integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and CAPTCHA on login forms, though additional security headers and public security policies could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, but the website's professional content and active social media presence support its credibility. Privacy and cookie policies are not detected, indicating an area for compliance improvement.

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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

IMBA holds a strong market position as a leading non-profit in mountain biking trail advocacy in the U.S. Its business model centers on community partnerships, education, and advocacy rather than commercial sales. The organization benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem and a clear mission that resonates with outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Revenue streams likely include donations, grants, and partnerships. The website's content and navigation support effective engagement with target audiences, including local member organizations and trail communities. Growth indicators include active program offerings and community status tracking. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency and compliance through published policies and security disclosures.

Security posture

IMBA demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, secure login forms with CAPTCHA, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the site lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. The absence of a public security or incident response policy and no security.txt file limits transparency and readiness communication. Privacy compliance is basic, with no detected privacy or cookie policies, which may pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with enhanced headers, policy publication, and regular third-party script audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer or dedicated pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan publicly to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. It uses popular libraries and APIs such as jQuery UI, Google Maps API, Bootstrap 4.5, and Font Awesome for UI and functionality. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, contributing to a good user experience. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and tracking pixels. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation supports the organization's mission effectively with room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
