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

IT-ISAC is a non-profit organization focused on enhancing cybersecurity through the sharing of cyber threat information and collaboration on mitigation strategies. The website serves as a platform for companies interested in cybersecurity information sharing, positioning IT-ISAC as a key player in the cybersecurity information sharing and analysis center sector in the United States. The technical infrastructure is based on the Wix platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as JavaScript and CSS, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and some security hardening scripts present, but lacks visible security headers and formal security policies. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which impacts compliance and user trust. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for it-isac.org 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 organization operates as a non-profit entity providing cybersecurity threat information sharing services to companies. Its business model revolves around collaboration and information exchange rather than commercial sales. The website targets cybersecurity professionals and companies seeking threat intelligence. Market positioning is solid within the ISAC community, but the lack of detailed business information and WHOIS transparency limits external trust. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the site. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not publicly disclosed. The website content is relevant and professional, supporting the organization's mission.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses scripts to harden fetch and XMLHttpRequest calls, indicating a proactive approach to security. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No incident response or security policy pages are present, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with formal policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve compliance and trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance website security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider publishing a security policy page.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using Wix Thunderbolt framework, with modern JavaScript and CSS technologies. It is hosted by Wix.com, which provides reliable infrastructure and SSL certificates. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO features. The site uses polyfills and scripts to ensure compatibility and security hardening. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking services, which aligns with privacy-conscious design. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform, but the lack of custom security headers and policies indicates room for improvement in technical security controls.
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.
