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

Liver Canada is a well-established Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to improving liver health through education, research funding, and community support. The website clearly targets Canadians affected by liver disease, caregivers, health professionals, and researchers. It offers comprehensive resources, fundraising opportunities, and awareness campaigns, positioning itself as a leading authority in liver health within Canada. The organization has a strong market presence with a clear mission and professional branding. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and reCAPTCHA for security and analytics. Hosting and DNS services are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and protects domain transfer and update operations. Forms are protected with invisible reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam. However, there is room for improvement in privacy compliance, notably the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and lack of published security or incident response policies. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, Liver Canada presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and a secure, professional online presence. Strategic enhancements in privacy transparency and security policy publication would further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
  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

Liver Canada operates as a medium-sized non-profit in the healthcare sector, focusing on liver disease education, research funding, and community engagement. Its revenue streams likely include donations, fundraising events, and grants. The organization targets a broad audience including patients, caregivers, researchers, and donors. The website reflects a strong partnership ecosystem, including a payment processing domain and a web development partner. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing campaigns such as public service announcements. The business model emphasizes community contribution and research impact, positioning Liver Canada as a trusted leader in its niche within Canada.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, domain transfer/update restrictions, and use of reCAPTCHA on forms. Security headers are present, contributing to protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents a compliance gap. The lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify legal terms and user agreements.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and reCAPTCHA. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS and nameservers, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with no major technical debt or deprecated technologies detected. The use of third-party scripts is standard for analytics and marketing. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and security transparency to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
