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

The Inspired Internet Pledge is a non-profit initiative led by the Digital Wellness Lab aimed at uniting organizations within the digital ecosystem to promote safer and healthier internet experiences, particularly for young people. The website serves as a platform to showcase pledge principles, signatories, advisors, and annual reports, positioning itself as a collaborative industry effort to address youth mental health challenges related to technology use. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and integrates HubSpot for marketing and analytics, hosted on InMotion Hosting. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, though it lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain registration protections, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the business timeline and legitimacy is supported by the presence of reputable signatories and transparent registration data. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy hosted on the parent organization’s domain but no cookie banner on the main site. Contact is primarily via an embedded HubSpot form, with no direct emails or phone numbers listed. The site content is safe for general audiences, focusing on digital wellbeing and youth safety without any adult or explicit content.

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

8 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Inspired Internet Pledge occupies a unique position as a collaborative non-profit initiative targeting digital wellbeing and youth mental health within the technology sector. Its business model relies on industry partnerships and public commitments rather than direct revenue generation. The presence of over 50 signatories, including major tech companies like Pinterest and Roblox, indicates strong market acceptance and influence. The initiative leverages research and clinical expertise from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, enhancing credibility. The website supports growth through annual reporting and public engagement, targeting policymakers, industry players, and the general public concerned with digital safety. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with advisors and signatories spanning technology, non-profit, and advocacy sectors. Strategic observations suggest the initiative is well-positioned to influence policy and industry standards, though expanding direct contact channels and enhancing privacy compliance could improve stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status codes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of HubSpot forms and analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented on the site, limiting transparency. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, enabling DNSSEC, and adding explicit privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Provide direct contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to improve communication channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and integrates HubSpot for marketing and analytics. The tech stack is current and widely supported, facilitating good performance and mobile optimization. Hosting is provided by InMotion Hosting, a reputable provider. The site includes valid meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. Accessibility features such as skip links and semantic HTML are present, supporting usability. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some modernization opportunities. The embedded HubSpot forms and scripts are well integrated but introduce moderate tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for security and privacy improvements.
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.
