Link to Change is a UK-based non-profit charity dedicated to combating exploitation and supporting victims and young people at risk. The organization positions itself as a specialized service provider in the anti-exploitation sector, offering support and advocacy. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, featuring structured data that enhances search engine visibility and provides clear contact information. However, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a registration error, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy or configuration. The technical infrastructure relies on Wix hosting and includes Google Ads and Tag Manager for marketing and analytics. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks important security headers and privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the website is safe for general audiences and presents a trustworthy front for the charity, though improvements in compliance and domain registration clarity are recommended.

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.
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
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"

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The charity operates in the non-profit sector focused on exploitation prevention and victim support. Its market positioning is that of a specialized UK charity with a clear target audience of victims and at-risk youth. The business model is service-oriented, relying on advocacy and support services. The website's use of Wix indicates a small to medium-sized organization with moderate digital maturity. Marketing efforts include Google Ads and Tag Manager, suggesting some investment in outreach. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and domain registration issues are notable gaps. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the domain or website content. The charity's operations appear focused and niche, with potential for growth through improved digital and compliance practices.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could expose it to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no known vulnerabilities. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, limiting the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance web security.
Clarify and correct domain registration issues to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.
Establish incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes with clear contact channels.
Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and user experience.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's hosting and content management capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript and includes Google Tag Manager and Google Ads scripts for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized and has good design quality. Performance is moderate, typical for Wix-hosted sites. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and structured data but could be improved with richer content and accessibility enhancements. The lack of security headers and privacy compliance documentation are technical debt areas. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, indicating a possible misconfiguration or invalid registration, which is a technical risk for brand trust and domain control.
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.
