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

Live + Work in Maine is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive resources, job postings, community events, and relocation guides for individuals interested in living, working, or staying in Maine. The website serves as a central hub for job seekers, employers, entrepreneurs, and community members, offering a variety of services including a job board, employer resources, and educational opportunities. Their market position is that of a trusted regional resource with strong community ties and partnerships. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, although accessibility features could be improved. The use of third-party analytics and tracking is evident, but no cookie consent mechanism was detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about transparency, although the website content and external partnerships suggest legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for its non-profit mission but would benefit from enhanced security practices, improved privacy compliance, and greater transparency in domain registration details.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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 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. 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 organization operates as a non-profit focused on supporting relocation and employment in Maine. Its business model revolves around providing free resources, community engagement, and a curated job board. The target audience includes potential residents, job seekers, employers, veterans, students, and entrepreneurs in Maine. The site has established partnerships with notable regional and national organizations, enhancing its credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active social media presence and integration with multiple partner services. The partnership ecosystem includes financial institutions, healthcare providers, educational institutes, and regional employers, reflecting a broad support network. Strategic observations suggest the organization is well-positioned to continue serving as a key resource for Maine's workforce and community development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The site uses secure third-party analytics and tracking services but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. There is no published security policy or incident response plan, limiting transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern web fonts from Google Fonts and integrating multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is hosted on Webflow's infrastructure, which provides reliable performance and scalability. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. SEO practices are well implemented with appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. However, the site lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The use of AJAX modals and dynamic content loading indicates a modern, interactive user experience. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
