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

The OpenJS Foundation is a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing JavaScript and related web technologies. It serves as a central hub for collaborative development, governance, and community engagement across a broad ecosystem of open source projects. The foundation enjoys strong industry backing from major technology companies, positioning it as a key player in the JavaScript ecosystem. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and managed with Prismic CMS. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Analytics and tracking are implemented primarily through Google Analytics and Tag Manager, with moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs multiple security headers, and maintains a dedicated security policy page. However, it lacks a published security.txt file and explicit incident response contact emails, which are recommended for enhanced vulnerability management. Privacy compliance is addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy, though a consent mechanism is not evident. Overall, the OpenJS Foundation website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and technical maturity. The absence of blocking mechanisms or WAF interference allows full content accessibility and analysis. Strategic improvements in incident response transparency and cookie consent would further strengthen its security and privacy posture.

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

3 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 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 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. 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

The OpenJS Foundation operates as a critical non-profit entity within the technology sector, focusing on JavaScript and web technology projects. Its business model centers on fostering open source collaboration, providing governance, and supporting project sustainability. The foundation's market position is strong, backed by major industry members such as Google, IBM, Meta, and Microsoft, which enhances its credibility and influence. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, sponsorships, and event hosting. The target audience includes developers, enterprises, and open source communities. The foundation's partnership ecosystem is robust, with close ties to the Linux Foundation and various collaborative spaces. The website content and structure reflect a well-organized operation with clear communication of mission, governance, and community initiatives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a dedicated security policy page. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a security.txt file and explicit incident response contact emails represents a gap in vulnerability disclosure and incident management readiness. Privacy policies are present and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking, which could pose compliance risks. The use of third-party analytics and scripts is standard but should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact emails (e.g., security@ or abuse@) on the security page.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to user data and analytics.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, with content managed via Prismic CMS and hosted on Vercel. This setup supports fast loading times, excellent mobile optimization, and good accessibility standards. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and Open Graph data to improve search engine visibility and social media sharing. No technical debt or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of CDN-hosted assets and lazy loading of scripts contributes to performance efficiency. Opportunities exist to further modernize by integrating formal security.txt and cookie consent frameworks 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.
