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 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';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 targets outdoor enthusiasts, educators, and conservation partners, leveraging a membership and donation-based business model. Their revenue streams include training courses, online education, merchandise sales, and partnerships. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized outdoor brands and educational platforms, enhancing their reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active event scheduling, multilingual content, and a strong social media presence. Strategic observations highlight their focus on community-driven conservation and education as key competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and domain transfer lock status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some common security headers suggests potential areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with the organization's non-profit status and public-facing educational mission.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting
  5. Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It employs Bootstrap for responsive design and integrates multiple third-party services including Weglot for translations, Microsoft Clarity for analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in lazy loading and script management. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple external scripts and the absence of DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively.
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.
