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

The Living Donor Toolkit website serves as a specialized educational platform providing comprehensive financial and medical resources for individuals considering living organ donation. Affiliated with the American Society of Transplantation and sponsored by Novartis, the site targets potential living donors and their families, offering detailed toolkits and chapters to support informed decision-making. The website holds a strong position as a trusted non-profit healthcare resource in the transplantation community. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with integration of common web technologies such as jQuery, Adobe DTM, Google Tag Manager, and Typekit fonts. While the site demonstrates good design quality, clear navigation, and moderate performance, mobile optimization and accessibility are basic and could be improved. The use of multiple third-party marketing and tracking tools indicates moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, HTTPS is properly implemented, but the absence of explicit security headers and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies reduce the overall security posture and privacy compliance. The missing WHOIS data for the domain raises transparency concerns, although the professional affiliation and sponsorship lend credibility. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and content is fully accessible. Overall, the website is a credible and valuable resource for its target audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures, improved security headers, and better transparency regarding domain registration to 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 website operates within the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on organ transplantation education. Its business model revolves around providing free, authoritative educational content supported by sponsorships and grants, notably from Novartis. The target customers are individuals considering living organ donation and their support networks. The site leverages partnerships with recognized organizations such as the American Society of Transplantation and references official transplant and organ donation data sources, enhancing its competitive advantage and trustworthiness. Growth indicators include comprehensive content updates and integration of financial and medical toolkits. The partnership ecosystem includes pharmaceutical sponsors and transplant information authorities, positioning the site as a key educational hub in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and controlled use of third-party scripts via Google Tag Manager and Adobe DTM. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security weakens its defense-in-depth. No explicit privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The absence of incident response contacts and security policy documentation further limits readiness for security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policy pages with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and third-party libraries to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature but aging CMS platform, using jQuery 1.8.3 and Adobe DTM for tag management. The presence of Google Tag Manager and StackAdapt indicates a modern approach to marketing and analytics integration. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site uses Typekit fonts and Font Awesome icons for consistent branding. Technical debt is present due to the use of older Drupal and jQuery versions, which may pose security risks. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's educational mission but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
