Risk levelLow

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

International Greeter Association operates a niche community-driven platform offering free local guided walks for tourists worldwide. The website positions itself as a connector between travelers and local greeters, focusing on small groups and personalized experiences. The business model appears non-profit or community-based, targeting tourists seeking authentic local interactions. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, with SEO optimization via Rank Math and tracking through Google Tag Manager. Hosting is provided by a reputable registrar, and the domain is relatively young but consistent with the business age. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible privacy policy or terms of service, though a cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. 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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 34 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142

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

The International Greeter Association occupies a unique position in the travel and tourism sector, focusing on free, community-based local tours. Its competitive advantage lies in leveraging local volunteers to provide authentic experiences, appealing to culturally curious travelers. The business model likely relies on volunteer participation and community goodwill rather than direct revenue. The website's digital presence is mature for a small organization, with SEO and analytics tools in place. However, the absence of clear contact information and formal policies may limit trust and growth potential. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. Growth indicators include a well-structured website and social media presence, but further business intelligence would require additional data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. However, it lacks DNSSEC and important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could expose it to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Borlabs Cookie introduces potential risk vectors if not regularly audited. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS (WordPress) with the Divi theme, indicating ease of content management and customization. SEO is enhanced via the Rank Math plugin, and user tracking is implemented through Google Tag Manager. Hosting is stable with a reputable registrar. Performance appears moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but no advanced optimization detected. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic, with no advanced ARIA or accessibility features detected. Technical debt is low given the modern stack, but security and compliance gaps represent risks. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve privacy compliance to align with best 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.
