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

Inclusion Canada is a Canadian national federation dedicated to advancing the full inclusion and human rights of people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Established in 2012, it operates as a medium-sized non-profit organization with a strong market position as a leading advocate in the disability rights sector. The organization provides advocacy, community transformation, and resource services, targeting individuals with intellectual disabilities, their families, and stakeholders in Canada. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with clear messaging and a focus on inclusion and rights advocacy. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and technologies such as jQuery, FontAwesome, and multilingual support via WPML. It employs Google Analytics for tracking and CleanTalk for anti-spam protection. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Hosting details are limited but the domain is registered with DomainPeople, Inc., a reputable registrar. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and employs anti-spam and captcha protections on forms. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no clear cookie consent mechanism. No incident response or security policy pages were found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with a strong business credibility score. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, implementing cookie consent mechanisms, and enhancing privacy compliance to align with GDPR standards. These improvements would strengthen the security posture and user trust further.

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 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

Inclusion Canada holds a prominent position in the Canadian non-profit sector focused on intellectual disability inclusion. Its business model centers on advocacy and federation services, supported by partnerships with related organizations. The organization leverages digital channels including social media and newsletters for outreach. The website content and structure support its mission effectively, targeting families and advocates. The presence of multiple campaigns and resource pages indicates active engagement and diversified service offerings. The domain age and registration details support a stable and legitimate operation. Partnerships with other inclusion-focused organizations enhance its ecosystem and outreach capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and anti-spam measures are in place via CleanTalk and captcha plugins. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is partial, with no explicit cookie consent mechanism and limited GDPR indicators. Incident response readiness is not evident from the site. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern tech stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, and Bootstrap-based navigation. It integrates multilingual support via WPML and uses Contact Form 7 for forms. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics and social media scripts. Accessibility is addressed with an accessibility widget (UserWay) and responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and security headers would modernize the security infrastructure. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is stable and consistent with the organization's profile.
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.
