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

Jewish Federation of Detroit is a well-established non-profit organization serving the Jewish community in Detroit. The website provides information about community events, fundraising campaigns, and news updates, targeting community members and supporters. The organization has been active since 2007, with a consistent domain registration and professional branding. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Kadence Blocks, with SEO optimization via Yoast and tracking through Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is credible and trustworthy but could improve privacy and security 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

4 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. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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. 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

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 Jewish Federation of Detroit operates as a regional non-profit focused on community support and fundraising. Its business model relies on donations and community engagement. The organization targets Jewish community members in Detroit and surrounding areas. The website reflects a mature digital presence with SEO and analytics integration, indicating a focus on outreach and engagement. No evidence of commercial subsidiaries or parent companies was found. The organization maintains consistent branding and trust signals, positioning itself as a key community institution.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and has domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No advanced security headers were detected in the provided content. Forms are implemented via Gravity Forms but no explicit security policies or incident response contacts were found. Tracking via Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel is present, indicating moderate user tracking. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, representing compliance gaps. Overall, security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in domain security and privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  5. Review and secure all forms against spam and injection attacks, and ensure secure data handling.

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.
