Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Kindness Factory is a small non-profit organization dedicated to promoting kindness through educational programs, community engagement, and logging acts of kindness. Their website serves as a platform to encourage participation, provide resources such as a kindness curriculum, and offer related products via a kindness shop. The organization maintains an active social media presence and leverages modern web technologies to deliver a user-friendly experience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Avada theme and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Security posture is good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA in place, though some security headers and policies are missing. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. 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

  2. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 22 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 organization occupies a niche in the non-profit sector focused on social good and education. Their business model revolves around community engagement, educational content delivery, and fundraising through donations and product sales. The presence of partner domains related to kindness education and products indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The domain age and registration details align well with the organization's founding date, supporting credibility. Growth potential exists through expanded educational offerings and increased digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could enhance DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from implementing additional security headers and publishing formal security and privacy policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme framework, which provides responsive design and good SEO capabilities. It integrates multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Backbone.js, and Underscore.js, and uses Slider Revolution for interactive content. Hosting appears to leverage AWS S3 for media storage, indicating scalable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, which supports data-driven decision making but requires proper privacy disclosures. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with improved security configurations and privacy compliance.
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.
